The following link will take you to pics that Dave Watson took during the 2 days, thanks Dave.

and here will give you a flavour of the event.

Just a quick note to let you all know the results of the 'North of  England Open' and Eurotour event at Horcum this week end.

Saturday was the main flying day with 30mph+ westerly winds all day. The decision was made to make the most of these conditions as Sunday was not a good forecast. 8 rounds were flown, with the day finishing at 8pm after over 9hours of flying - phew!

Sunday started bright but no wind, and gradually deteriorated until the predicted rain arrived at 12:30.

(No rounds were completed on the Sunday, needless to say possibly my best score was recorded during the round that was partly flown on the Sunday but had to be discarded due to the weather deteriorating and some unfortunate time loss with crashed model recovery . (Another if only tale but they don't count.) RR.

Congratulations to Dieter on his win and also fastest time of 33.27seconds. Thanks to everyone who took part, and to all the helpers who made the day run so well.
