February, 2010:

Snow in Tyrella??

Early spring and we have snow!  Not to be detered, a solution is quickly found: put some bottles on the wheels, and you have instant ski’s. By the looks of it, both Colin and Dessie were the brave lads today.

..bottle ski's, who cares?..

..yes, that's Tyrella!

Dessie's new toy??

..Cub with ski's..

Pitts special, that for sure!!

Below a few pics of Dessies Pitts. 

It’s been flying a lot recently, hence the ‘tapes’ to keep all the vital bits together. Somewhere it reminds me of the story you hear telling about the old B-52′s: ‘A collection of loose spareparts, generally moving in the same direction.’  

..ready??

Never mind, it flies, it’s just thirsty, drinking approx 70cc/min, and if you run out of fuel you have to get home without the fan keeping you cool.. 

...fuel selectors, what???

just cleared the wires..Ian took all these pics, it's nice to be able to use a good camera! Thks Ian...and down safely..

.. yes, horses do leave piles of the stuff on the field...

Peter's HABU

Another Habu takes to the air.  Easy to build, easy to fly.

..what do you mean it's my fault..
