New A4 Skyhawk Flies at the Mermaid Pool

A maiden flight is always apprehensive particularly in a strong wind. Last Sunday, however, we were blessed with a strong enough wind at the Mermaid to be confident, but not too strong so as to fear the worst. The A4 Skyhawk was finished and it was time to test it.  It is part of the

30th Anniversary PSSA Meet Up The Orme

Unusually for April, the Orme hosted the first PSSA Meeting by greeting us with some Northerly winds, which meant that we could not fly from the Tank tracks on Day One. The weather, however, although cold, was crisp, dry, and sunny, more or less all day. It is always difficult to recognise old friends when
