| Glad to see you.
I'm leaving back to BKK in just a few hours.
Spent too much here in USA but happy. |

Flying over the airstrip. I still haven't got the hang of this camera. Although someone on RCGroups has told me to use a -0.30 EV correction, so I'll try that next time. Dissapointed, got lots of blurry shots again. This was one of the best. |

The Tyro flying at sunset, up in Lake Wales, Florida. We stayed at a funky little hotel with an airstrip, suitable for 172s and Tyros alike. |

| Great shots, James! How do you trigger the shutter? |

| Nice touch an aerial self portrait! |

| Now, that's photography. Outstanding self portrait! |

Got some time up in the air this morning. I need to put a darker colour on the wings, the silver is terrible for visiblity against a blue sky, almost invisible. Secondly, the new camera (a Pentax Optio S10) does not seem too good at the moment. Most of the shots were blurry, even after forcing the ISO up to 400, locking the focus on infinity, and trying the 'sports' mode. I shall do some more research - anyone want an S10 going cheap?! :) |

| Alrighty, back in business! Great shot. |

Yes, she flies! Looking down on Gianni Versace's mansion (see the observatory on top?). No problems with the flight, although I need to work on the camera settings a bit. |

Waiting for the sunrise. I like the moon shining on the sand in this shot. |

| Something I need to add on this site (along with a million other things on the list) is the ability to have multiple models of the same type, and also to log data such as weights, equipment config, etc. My original Tyro (the green one) was 13.7oz, so a bit heavier than this one (which is 12.7oz with the 2cell 1320 mAh battery). I can't find a note of the RAF trainer Tyro's weight, which is a shame. I need to tidy up the 'engine bay', it doesn't look very pretty at the moment! |

| Very nice Jimmy! I like the red on the top center of the wing. |

| I bet this one will be your best flyer yet. How does its AUW compare to the previous plane? |

Ready to go! This is just the base colours, I intend to jazz it up a bit later... If the maiden flight is OK! Just got to wait for a calm morning now... |

Camera mounted using the same tripod mounting screw as before. It weighs 5 oz, for 16.8oz AUW with the 1320mAh battery. The camera is a Pentax Optio S10, reconditioned, bought from eBay for $120. |

Ready to go... AUW is 12.3oz with a 2 cell 1320mAh battery (10.2oz empty). |

Progress so far. Covering with red Solarfilm, a slightly heavier covering than my usual Solite. Less translucent though, which suits the red. The wings will be silver Solite. |
