Unfortunately, this month has been one of those times where you just don't seem to get much flying in. This in part has been due to the return of the rifle shooters to our flying field which is actually a shooting range. Previously, the Army had imposed a 'no-shooting' rule while it reviewed safety there. Luckily for us, the Army took their own sweet time (read over a year) about it so we had the run of the range all to ourselves. Now the shooters have returned and we are now limited to flying on Sundays only pretty much. The search is on for an alternative field. This, and the nasty 120km/h winds that have been frequenting our area lately haven't equated to much flying.

The Webras
With those nasty winds and field availability, I haven't had a chance to really get sorted with these engines yet. The 91 is pretty much ready to 'rark up' now after being run in by Cyberheli and had about 7 tanks through in my Vigor, just waiting on a chance to let loose on it! The 91 is shaping up to be THE business, I've been really impressed by what I've seen so far. HOPEFULLY this weekend, I'll have an opportunity to open it up!

The 52? Well the jury is still out, but that's another article...
