SLOPING OFF...
...the Newsletter of Christchurch and District Model Flying Club for...March 2025
Light Fighter part 2, by the Ed
I did see Dave fly his landplane verion at Stanpit way back in the 90s, but any pictures I had of it are long gone. All those on this page are by me except for the superb (and very very lucky) last one.
The one below is number 26 in the Longham Lake “Hall of Fame”
The Green Machine looked very good in the air and Dave did some excellent aeros at the lake, back in 2013.
I think those are Trevor’s legs, because that’s his Sealand behind Dave as he sets up his model
Dave also brought a very smart-looking red and white version (slightly larger, I think). This was in September 2016
However, in October that year, we had the first rescue by an excellent safety boat from the model yacht club (sadly, it was never seen again)
It made another appearance in August 2018
Finally, the finest touch and go in recorded history (photo by Alan Butterworth)
