Super day. And I think those might've been the best hotdog I've ever tasted. Thank you, Mark. Great to see everyone, and great flying.

Some use a neck strap to hold the transmitter; I use the belly-table method. 😂
Thank you for a fun event, it was nice to see everyone.

Amazing day!

[Dusty B]

Great day guys - well done to those that organised it!
I've been a bit sick with dodgy guts overnight so going to start repairs on the J10 after yesterday brain fart!
Not sure if I'm going to make it out today - maybe later if things calm down in time!😂

Are you saying Mark's hotdogs were contaminated, George? 

Hope you feel better.

George was back at the field again today, flying as nice as usual.
