Hi All,
I have no idea what this means as it's so old it even pre-dates me !
In fact it's from Shakespeare and it's 'The better part of valour is discretion'..... Henry IV
However, this afternoon Roger and I met up at Mill Hill to try to fly the re-modelled Stargazer, but the wind was far too strong and despite waiting for at least an hour, it never subsided, so we decided to put it back in the car.
While we were there, we saw quite a bit of combat going on down the hill and eventually they came up to join us.
One of the locals (Jeff) decided he would give us a lesson in landing and after showing us how it 'must' be done, kindly gave Roger the TX to take over his Fusion.
Roger made a great job of flying and eventually landing the Fusion - well done Roger - I never doubted you.
The point of all this is -
1. The Stargazer didn't fly because it was too windy
2. Roger proved himself a competent and sensible member of our team
3. Roger needs a foamie
If anyone has a spare foamie for Roger, please let us know.
Best regards
Rob
