Models. Many models. A group bought some foamboard with them and cut/assembled a FlitTest Saab Viggen in their hotel room. It flew very well after a few interesting starts…

Horrible. Probably the worst model I had a go of. Don’t ask me why, but it seemed underpowered, and really, really poor handling. I just couldn’t get on with it at all.

I’ve flown loads of models, but to be honest I’ve been lacking in the photography department. I am on a flying holiday not a photo holiday after all. I liked this model a lot, even though it’s a hand-launch and belly-lander. Flies so well.

Ah, yes. I just got it a little wrong coming in with the Fun Cub (which is actually very entertaining to fly) and put it in a tree. it wasn’t my fault, the tree was magnetic. Honest. The RC Hotel is in a hilly area surrounded by forest. The evil, thorny and very, very dense kind of forest. Joe, the resident fixer kindly assisted in the recovery. Thanks Joe! My word.

Well, I’m not sure how I managed it, but here we are (me and the wife) for the week in the RC Hotel, Corfu, Greece. Yes, that’s correct; I managed to convince the wife that we should go on holiday to a place dedicated to model flying. The RC Hotel is an RC model flying place that happens to have a great hotel on site :) That wording is like that for a reason - there are a few other places in Europe that try and match the needs of the model flyer to a hotel but they are all a hotel that happens to be near a model-flying strip.
