Chalgrove October JetFest
Another month another great Chalgrove, fab weekend, CJ Friday, family yesterday and time to fly my toys today. 5 more flights on the CARF Hawk, all perfect, Let Rob Westwater have a complete flight so he can really look forward toi his kit arriving soon, a flight with the Bandit ARF before letting Colin Gontier have a go, Spark (220 set up) and the Squall, plus some prop flights. William (son) got to fly his A-10 twin EDF, flies really well! Plus the usual suspects and Jonny Herman (see!) Steve Ansell with their Flash models, added to Timmy J and Rob Westwaters Flashes. Trevor Skedge did another 5 flights with his CARF black Hawk, now fully sorted, Lukey B Bandit ARF, Paul (The daddy) Gray with his Fox Hawk, nav lights etc. Dave Butt with his P120Sx re engined Reaction, Lukey BVM F-86/P60, Rob W's Spark (220)
Another great day, nothing better than 20-30 friends and an Airfield!

RE: Chalgrove October JetFest
Great day as usual with great company. Emptied my fuel station into the Comp ARF Hawk for the second time this weekend and just to confirm that I wasn't on a high with a new airframe I invited Luke Barnett and Jonny Herman to have some stick time with it. Both agreed that this is a super smooth airplane to fly.
Had some flights with the Squall and moved the CG back to the limit which resulted in some great forward and backward tumbles. Good fun.

Brilliant brilliant day. Nice to see the CARF Hawks flying so scale and Rob managing an absolute greaser on his first landing with Dave's Hawk - crosswind as well.
I checked the turbine on my Flash after flying yesterday - have logged just under 3 hours since maiden last Saturday [8D]..... Ive come to work for a rest today

I see my nav lights circuit is getting some use
I take it no problems with the circuit?
Don't forget you can upgrade to brighter LED's from led.de also each channel is good for around 300-350mA.
