Eckman's visit

[Guy]

Eckman paid us a visit today and let me fly one of his Srimoks. 

Well I'd always wanted one before but now I reeeeeeally want one!!!  It flies like its on rails, and the power its got is incredible, I punched out from a hover and pulled a muscle in my neck trying to keep up with it, it was like a missile!

Not only did he let us fly his heli but he also gave ours (Mine & Andrews) a good going over.  I thought I had mine set up quite nicely but he made a number of changes and now it flies like it was touched by God!  He also spent a lot of his time  giving us some very good tips & help on flying in general. 

Top bloke, and he can fly a bit as well!

Great stuff  , sounds like a very enjoyable afternoon. Even to the layman that heli looks a bit special.

Will the Eckman return?

[Guy]

Yes he'll be there Thursday, and I'm hoping he can make it on a weekend at some point soon as it would be good if there were a few more people about to take advantage of his set up knowledge and flying skills.

Thats one nice looking heli Guy!!

That is a nice heli, it looks like its going fast while sitting on the table 

When you getting yours? I'm sure it must be a real pain having to carry them on the train, I'm sure you could find a spot in your workshop to look after a couple of them for Eckman  it would be a lot easier then having to carry them on the train

I have already offered, that would also save me the expense of having to buy one of my own!

Will I be expecting an application form any time soon?

All that sounds like a very good fun! at what time are you planning to get together? and is that at your workshop?

Cheers!

The latest news is that Eckman has to leave by 1:00.  I think Andrew and he are headed down there about 11:00. 

I cant make it but will probably go down for a fly this afternoon as I've already arranged to be there.
