Well another Manilla slope Fest done and dusted ,and it was huge . Unfortunately I still have not flown the Fouga 90 but did get the Hurricane up and going it was tail heavy but was still well behaved .Managed to drop a wing on landing with some minor damage resulting Still I'm very happy with it performance . My Mate Dave gave the Hurricane the perfect launch
