The Blackpool and Fylde electric Day at Weeton on 25th of May saw the local electric rally season off to a good start.

   We were very relieved to get a flyable day, following four weeks of very poor weather. Mostly cloudy, some sunshine, a steady wind touching 14 mph.

   A comfortable attendance (we can't accommodate Chester-size crowds). Most from NW England.

   On the evidence of the day, progress in practical electric flying continues unabated. At the high-tech end there were two incredibly-fast models; not my style, but very impressive. At the economy end, lots of very good flying. In-between, high-quality motors proving their worth.
