 I decided to take this little guy out for a flight at Duxford - but when i took him out of the hangar - the snow was so heavy that it would of pushed him right into the ground, once he got airborne, lol Smiley So, i took him next to the runway, and we waited for the snow to stop, and there was quite a bit when it stopped snowing!!!!

  ...

Ok......this is a bit odd

  ...

Five hours later...

 Finnally - i get to fly

Actually, i was trying the same thing you did in that shot post where you took that spitty down to like 1 ft off the ground, lol. I tried to do the same, but as you can see it didn't go too well, lol Grin Grin Grin
