Description by Martin Grimm, 16th August 2002

This past weekend I took my RHS 140 'Curl Curl' model out for a run on a local pond. It is the second time in two weekends after a pause of around two years since I last took it out under its own power!

As a friend of mine was at the controls of the transmitter, I finally got a chance to take some half reasonable photos of the model while foilborne. They are attached. One last photo is included with the model already hullborne as the batteries were running low by that stage. Thought you may also like to see these pix.

The partially completed superstructure had been left off for the runs in which the photos were taken. I have not capsized the model yet so it isn't a big concern leaving the top off in such calm conditions. I have however run it aground while foilborne in the past!
