Hi Dougie. Many thanks for your input. I see that you are a convert to G4 Pond sealer; I remember John Greenfield giving a demonstration of the stuff when we used to have the spring seminar at Haigh Hall in Wigan.

Hi Rob, Firstly many thanks for all the good work you are doing. Our flying site, at Blackpool, is outside the latest limits set by our two local airfields. When I read your email I was dismayed to read that all our models were now to be limited to the 400ft rule rather to just those over 7 Kg - thi...
