Another vote of thanks to Shaun, Phil and the rest of the Pandas team for another excellent event!

Oh, and a special thanks to "Dougie" (Pandas member - didn't get his surname) who found my Sub-Mini out in the sticks, after it failed to gain altitude after launch!

Many thanks Beryl & Graham

Great pics Mike, thanks!
Capricorn silencer is fixed now as I had a spare HP silencer at home that I was able to rob the front cone from!

Hi Dave,

In mine, I am using a Volta 2204 2000kv motor, Volta 15 amp ESC and a 2 cell 450mAH Lipo.

Hope that this helps.

Thanks Graham,

It does. I'll have a search through what bits I've got tomorrow and maybe take a ride through to Leeds model shop.

Many thanks

Dave
