Sunday April 1st will be the first of the themed days and as it's All Fools Day we will be starting with anything silly, daft, unusual, weird or just total insane . I'm sure the weird imagination of our members will come up with something unusual.

Slope Flying

Monday

Another day of light winds on Lesley.
There was enough slope lift to stay in the air with a steady series of light thermals, by following them back to the car park I was just in time to pick up the next one when I got back to the slope
I have had about 10 hours with the Supra and hope to use it in a thermal contest on Sunday

For sale

Crimping pliers with crimps

The specially designed Crimping Tool securely crimps the pins to servo leads creating a permanent, reliable connection. The pins are then inserted into the plastic housing. Wire leads from 28 through 20 swg can be used. Just cut the leads to length, strip off the insulation, crimp the pins on and install the appropriate plastic housing. It takes about five minutes per connector and can even be done in the field
