1 mile south of Killaloe bridge, we were trying to find the lone chimney pot which shows where a village once lay before Parteen Weir was built further down river and the area flooded many many years ago:

Nice piccy's Kris - looks like you had some fun. I shall hopefully put up some pictures from the four day CMBA Falmouth Rally that I got back from yesterday. We had calm conditions & sunny weather - fabulous! :D
Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!

I'll have to correct you for fear the owner ever reads this :D ...it's a Thundercat - I'm told there's a difference :notworthy:

And he didn't go upside down on it - he has mastered the art of handling it. :perfect:
