Scott - John flies at a spot between Perranporth and St. Agnes in Cornwall. He never says exactly where but knowing the area I reckon its by Perranporth airfield. I fly at St Agnes 2 or 3 times a year as my son lives in Cornwall and it would be rude not to take a model to fly off the cliffs there. I still find flying directly over the sea a butt clenching experience.
Hi Steve. I did wonder if it was Perranporth, I went down there several years ago camping. I’ve only ever flown cliffs with foamies so not so much worry but great fun!
I've just figured out that the first model is from a West Wings Lancer kit. What a lovely sleek 100S machine that is. I want one! It looks like a real builders kit too. The only thing that puts me off is the price, at around £140 it's a lot of money for a box of balsa and plywood. Maybe when I retire... https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2227050-West-Wings-Lancer-100S-Class-kit-build
These are stunning, he makes it look effortless. Do you know where he is flying Paul?
