Well I was planning to go on Saturday but I managed to re-disclocate my arm this morning while asleep on bed. .....Yes in bed and asleep ..

I managed to shove my arms under the pillow and must have twisted and out it popped. One month of recuperation down the toilet; hello 5 weeks back in the sling. I'll see how I am late Friday.

Lovely picture Paul, there was a time when we were a little younger but just a little younger than we are today but for some reason the pictures taken of us today don't give the right picture!
Cheers and all the best, see you at Ponte

Cheers Paul. Unfortunately my arm will be about as much use as a chocolate fire guard when it comes to launching models for many months.
Phil if you've your camera could you get a few pics please. I'm not coming as I can't operate mine one handed and to be fair have felt better :lol:

Well done Phil, that's a great find for the price. There are nowhere near as many twin-channel sets about as the more common single-channel version. Are we going to see it flying at Ponty, I'm certain you could give yourself dispensation to use it on 27MHz.
