Hey Robert,
I thought that you were referring to the successful maiden of my Dornier Wal that day.
Kind regards,

Hey Ken Ross.... I didn't see a video of THAT, but I did catch a glimpse in the movie above.

So it flew well?

Hi Guys,
Thank you for the fun day at the Beeton pond. Great flying and amazing food.

Yes Robert the Dornier flew fine.
The other guys who have built it had a hard time getting it off the water due to scale bottom. So it had a long take-off run but flew well.
The water was very smooth so it will probably get off easier when there are some ripples.
It was a good float fly- you would have enjoyed it.
They have the "Corn Cob" fun fly later in the summer.
Maybe you can get to it.

I'm glad to hear the "Whale" flew well.  Congratulations on a great new build!

I hope to be a little let crunched later in the summer.
