There was the usual pre competition test flights and repairs. Woody and Tim were carrying out essential maintenance after early mishaps.
Peter organising the flight order Dan and Tim waiting for their slot.
Woody in action, after a few flights he did manage to trim the model so it didn’t end up hitting him.
John here with his soon to be modified biplane.
