Looks really great, Peter. I'll have to experiment with lining on my cutter (another job for the list ..... )

I'm testing the parameters with this one. Does 'in bloom' mean flowers only or will any sort of foliage qualify?

Andy Rutter of Micron has reprogrammed his MR001 receiver so that the regulator (pin 1) can be reprogrammed to accommodate that 180 degree servo I identified some time ago. Absolutely amazing! So I have fitted it and the new servo and of course it works! I have now set up the new receiver and adjus...

Both worthy winners. But it was a tricky choose this time. The standard was very high.
Well done to all those who contributed.

On the back of the photo in pencil someone has put "WHR?" which makes me wonder if it's Dinas. Also, If that is a s...

I need some more trees and scrub along the lake edge. And maybe a fisherman and his campfire. (or a Jolly swagman camped by the billabong?)
