		A good afternoon at Frocester with steady lift all afternoon and the occasional light thermal. Bob had big problems with his new Discus , this failed to find enough lift, tip stalled and refused to turn. The final flight it hit a tree on the other side of the road, damaging the wing root and tail fin. The rest of us had a good time on another spring like day Graham's Pedro Pedro Brian's 3 metre Bob's Discus

		Saturday 9th at Chosen Hill school A good evening and for a change more fixed wing than helis. I was hoping to film The Diva doing a routine but it looked a little heavy for the room size. I flew my new Pogo VTOL but found it very hard only managing to land once, it does fly well in normal flight and at 4oz suited to the hall size, but it has a to land on its rear end and will tip over if if only a few degrees out. CB showed me how to do it with his Pogo.

		Wednesday 6th at Selsley A spring like day with light lift on the North facing slope. Alan's K8 was the top performer staying up easily when the lift went light. Don helped Den with his Filip400 sorting out the C of G. I enjoyed a flight with Alan's K8 and also flew Graham's Phase 4 and the other Alan's X-it Photos Den's Fillip 400 and Don's model
