Usual 90 deg cross wind both days with some rain on Saturday, but
worth going to see the new stuff for this year.
Twin turbine A-10 was flown well for his first public show, 1/2 scale

I'm trying to decide on which kit to purchase - the plane will ultimately be
a float-plane
thanks in advance

Has anyone tried the Tiger Shark yet need some feedback.

For those of you who are interested in the 2004 FAI World Control Line
Aeromodelling Championships, the Chinese team couldn't make it this
