It’s done nothing but blow a gale and rain for the last four days. Massive storms just a few miles away down on the atlantic coast.
Anyway, today was the first clear day, so a bit of fuel and it’s away !
This is the first time I’ve flown a control line plane for about twenty years, so it’s a bit erratic 
The other problems were the garden was a bit small so the lines are too short and the fuel pickup didn’t seem to be working very well, hence the stuttering.
I’m kind of glad I crashed in the end, as I was getting dizzy. Longer lines next time.
Hi Ian, Congratulations on the maiden flight. I watched the You Tube clip but it made me laugh out loud as I could hear the Uber-Wasp but could never actually catch the plane. I’m glad it worked and bet Hugh was delighted. Well done you

Hi just saw your clip as I subscribed to a google alert for Brittany France.
Where my fathers’ family is from.I have only been there (Brittany) once as my parents came to the USA in 1949. My moms from Alsace region.
Good to meet you-
