- A giant scale P-40
powered by a zenoah G62. Complete with twist and tuck scale
undercarriage. This was a spectacular model, flown in a spectacular
fashion. Low passes must have nearly touched the prop on the
ground.

P-40.
- Fully detailed P-40
cockpit, a must on any scale model.

being walked back after another sortie.
- Hand painted insignia on the P-40's
fuse side was amazing on its own.
- Papateer
Biplane. I believe it is owned by Murry (Sp?). It is powered
by a .52 OS 4 stroke motor.

of the Sky
Loop. Here is another view of it.
- Paul in shock (although you wouldn't know it),
as he surveys the wreckage of his Sky
Loop.
- A moments silence please for the former great
Sky
Loop.
- The Sky
Loop didn't fool around when it hit the deck. Look how far
it buried itself!
- Just to emphasise how far the Sky
Loop nosed in.
- Paul attempting to extricate the Sky
Loop.
- It appears to me that the engine on the Sky
Loop stopped, because of excess ingress of soil.
- Jason shows us the damage to the underside of
the Sky
Loop's wing.

Loop.

- Now I ask you. Who is training who? Believe it or not, neither. Trent wanted to fly Dave's Spitfire and they fly on different modes. The answer, was the training chord. Dave's spitfire has never been flown the way that Trent flew it today. Rolling circles, Lomcovaks and a flat spin. I think Dave was awestruck and very nervous.
