Photo's of the Weekend Tom Hastie - Maiden Flight!

[Ken Park]

Tom Hastie is the proud papa of a brand new E-Orville! Saturday Feb 4 2006 With Beaker in cockpit and Tom on the sticks it was smooth flying for the dynamic dudes! Tom got in at least 3 test hops the field should change it name to the Marina! It was wet to say the least!

Here's a few snaps from the day! Enjoy!

Nice Pictures Ken.

I just finished uploading the ones Dave managed to take here:

It's a very nice flying plane. The power from the Hacker A30-16M is very similar to your glow version. I'm looking forward to dialing it in how I like and getting the inevitable new plane hesitation out of the system. I also need to add some stripes to the bottom of the wing.

All in all, I think I'll be very happy with it. Thanks Ken!

Ya If you Zoom in on Beaker you can see the Terror in his eye's Come on Tom buy this guy a seat belt!

What a sharp looking plane! I wonder if it will do rolling hariers? Poor Beeker looks like he is having a bad hair day.

Nice to see you guys having fun in the snow! Except for poor old Beaker of course - although I am sure he was glad not have been planted in the snow. Nice looking model, good photos - keep them coming to make me feel homesick!!

Mark.
