My general modelling ramblings and some photos of aeroplanes and mates...

Splinter goes 169mph!

Yes the Splinter has done it again - this time on the Skirrid... This was all the more remarkable in that it posted equal top speed for the day as a very well flown Opus MCT. What a model!

Anyway, here's some photos from the day - thanks to George for getting the pics of my Splinter whilst I was flying. The Opus is Adam Richardson's triple carbon MCT - stunningly smooth model and looks to be a superb sport model for strong frontsiding as well...

The Splinter with the white tips is Adam's oak one, and the other one is mine - the 169mph one! Adam's oak one went up to 164mph in the end, but I suspect that he finds it tough to really wind his one up - it's the prototype after all, and the only one with that beautiful pterodactyl planform...

Enjoy!
