Monty Tyrrell Classic Stunt

The forecast was for a fine day, even so there was only a small turnout for this prestigious event. Conditions deteriorated as the morning progressed and the wind proved difficult particularly for Mr Koch. PJ had the wood on Mark from the outset and maintained the lead comfortably at the end of the second round. Andrew overtook Robin improving by 60 points with his second flight, a good effort. The McCoy in the Thunderbird pulled it around with authority and lovely 4:2:4 sound as it powered through the verticals. The entertainment for the day rested with Harry. The poor old Fox .35 in the Red Devil burped and farted all the way through as Harry staggered around like a drunken sailor to keep the model in the air. A few people on the sidelines had their garbage bags ready to pick up the pieces but not required as it turned out. Harry is now called Captain Courageous in my book. Well done!

PJ is on the March to try and catch Doug Grinham's record 11 wins for this event. Well PJ, age is certainly on your side!
