Looking good though, keep going

Thanks from the Club & Committee!
What could possibly better more enjoyable than a beer in your hand, and resin being cast before your eyes....?!
Better than storming around Homebases trying to find a Dulux paint machine with the right software version to colour match your rudder covering...
Now that's just silly...

Club night chat / Resin Casting demo - Jan 27th Clubnight
« Last post by DannyF on 28/01/2016, 09:14:23 AM »Just wanted to say a big thanks to those that suffered through my moulding and casting demo. Parts were a bit like watching paint dry or I should say resin setting 
I appreciate many are not quite as bonkers as I am when it comes to detailing, but several people said they enjoyed witnessing my insanity.
The encouraging words re my Chipmunk have me all rejuvinated and ready to finish off the scale documention, roll on the first comp!
Cheers
Danny

At long last, we have dates for the Greenacres Show for 2016.
The dates for diaries are...
Here's the same dates in the context of other popular Midlands Model Shows: http://www.greenacresmac.co.uk/J/index.php/about-us/model-shows-2016
The committee would like to ask as many members as possible to come down on the Fridays before the shows to make light work of the field setup.
Meet in the layby behind the field at about 9:00am on the Friday morning for a bacon butty and to start getting all the equipment moved.
Hope to see you all there...

Nice catch! Even though I love my Taranis gear, I don't visit the FrSky website very often, as it's not very good...
These do indeed look like early production radios...
Will check around the other usual places for FrSky info...
Update: Here's an FrSky Forum announcement saying that the X12S "Horus" is "released" whatever that means...
