Me too. I've attached pictures of my current fleet of r2 stuff, 1.8m Passer, 1.6m Bulero and 1.2m Speedo Pro. Also a Mk 1 Speedo and r2's 1.5m Fox.</span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:Arial;">To me these all represent great value and, for the money, good flying. They're not, in stock form, speed machines and they'll all benefit from a bit of judicious strengthening. All of them, though, can deal with a wide wind speed range, especially with the help of a bit of church roof, and the Speedo is very definitely in the "keep it in the back of the vehicle and chuck off (almost) anywhere" category.</span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:Arial;">Sadly in recent years the price has jumped dramatically but it's still worth keeping an eye on their e-bay site "revolutionshop". I just got the Bulero landed on my doorstep for a total cost including shipping of about £48. It may have been a mistake on their part to only charge me this much. I notice that since then they've increased the shipping alone to £55 - no chance there!</span></div></div>shortearedowlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08612331208429148300noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222389134164311462.post-14745133460152400392010-07-17T19:42:00.003+01:002010-07-17T19:44:48.819+01:00For sale page on the WebsiteI have now added a FOR SALE tab on the website, if anyone has anything to sell then please email me with information and picture if required and I will add it to the page.Moorslopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14393223862600104471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222389134164311462.post-73835128739272063522010-07-14T21:09:00.006+01:002010-07-14T22:09:37.647+01:00<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#3366ff;"><strong>How to post to this Blog and also add a picture, after you have been accepted as a member.</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#3366ff;"><strong></strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#3366ff;"><strong>I have attached a file on the WEBSITE Blog TAB/ PAGE with information on a word document, all you need to do is download file .</strong></span> <a href="http://www.lmmga.org/blogg">http://www.lmmga.org/blogg</a><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#3366ff;">It is also on the Files (Uploaded Information) Page <a href="http://www.lmmga.org/Files">http://www.lmmga.org/Files</a></span></strong><br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#3366ff;"></span></strong>Moorslopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14393223862600104471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222389134164311462.post-43735080234893024812010-07-13T22:33:00.003+01:002010-07-13T22:56:45.360+01:00Check those Battery WiresI nearly had a major distaster flying my Mini Dragon off the Orme the other week. After flying at the usual break neck speed around the cliff top I took her up to dotsville whilst I had a chat with one of the locals. All of a sudden I had NO control. All I could do was watch it steadily spiral down picking up speed as she came down. It came banking in at high speed over the landing zone and I knew it was going to end badly. At about 2 metres high it suddenly shook itself and I regained control. This was followed by a rapid landing and it was packed up in the car whilst I had a cup of tea to calm down.<br />The subsequent investigation revealed the battery black wire had turned to dust and it fell apart in my fingers. I have read about this problem but I always wondered how I could check for this. I now know that it would have been obvious if I had visually inspected it or gently pulled it.<br />I recommend that if your model has been tucked away for a while give those black wires a quick inspection.<br />I did do the lottery that night but I think I had used up all my luck !Dave Gainshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10276162288194698683noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222389134164311462.post-49360411395707262292010-07-12T21:06:00.000+01:002010-07-12T21:06:02.680+01:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYuI5J008deaBwIgn583Zjpq_shdCVaVjWM2I9K8KPgX5TULAhThR8-qkBd40wCsx-PjrPBlPiwj6kDOnBcsgYw7DS_VTKEoiF-3D5WY9NoVZ5YbNyLZ3aOuuxG_UiQts9NYAcnUsu8xQ/s1600/Fillip_sport_400_sized.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; FLOAT: left; CLEAR: both" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYuI5J008deaBwIgn583Zjpq_shdCVaVjWM2I9K8KPgX5TULAhThR8-qkBd40wCsx-PjrPBlPiwj6kDOnBcsgYw7DS_VTKEoiF-3D5WY9NoVZ5YbNyLZ3aOuuxG_UiQts9NYAcnUsu8xQ/s160/Fillip_sport_400_sized.jpg" /></a><div style='clear:both; text-align:LEFT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Moorslopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14393223862600104471noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222389134164311462.post-33343347715866040992010-07-12T19:51:00.000+01:002010-07-12T19:53:24.726+01:00Nigels modelThe website of Nigels model is <a href="http://www.r2hobbies.com/">www.r2hobbies.com</a><br /><br />If I am wrong then blogg it nigelMoorslopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14393223862600104471noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222389134164311462.post-56733125882517303612010-07-12T19:49:00.000+01:002010-07-12T19:50:57.726+01:00Come on matesYou do enough shouting on the slopes lets get bloggingMoorslopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14393223862600104471noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222389134164311462.post-22688885053543713042010-06-12T23:37:00.000+01:002010-06-12T23:38:52.908+01:00WelcomeWelcome to our club Blogg, feel free to join in and have your sayMoorslopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14393223862600104471noreply@blogger.com0
