Steve Gibbings L3 Flight

Having just got back from EARS may I be the first to congratulate Steve on his succsesful L3 flight. He flew Tintinus on a Hypertek M to arround 5k with flawless recovery.

I've put a 2.6mb Mpeg on my site

in the video section plus a number of stills in the gallery un Misc 2003.

I'd post the pics to ABMR but i've not been able to connect to it through NTL Cable for a few days :-(

This is only the 3rd L3 flight attempted in the UK and only the second to be succesfull. So well done Steve, well worth the wait!!

I second that !

After a lot of toil and perseverance (Steve can fill you in on the whole story) his L3 was eventually flawless. Well Done !

Thanks also to every one who helped out...

Me neither. Allegedly they are restructuring to separate into servers that support binaries and those that don't. To be fair text.news.ntlworld.com is far better then anything I've seen form them recently (except for binaries).

My congratulations to Steve!

It was a superb flight when it eventually took to the air! ;0) Well done Steve!

Absoloutely. It was great and a cracking day for it too. It was well worth having to miss the last two EARS launches due to the harvest.

Congratulations Steve!

Cheers Mike 8-{>
