Evan Belworthy’s modified Clutton FRED ZK-FRD is no stranger to this site, previously featured in A New Zealand FRED turns 30! and The Beating Heart of ZK-FRD, not to mention several photos in the FRED Worldwide Photo Gallery. Despite some shaking from Mother Nature, here is a brand new video of ZK-FRD shot just yesterday. I’ll let Evan tell the story.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, pulled FRED out last night and took some video on the camera and then have posted it on YouTube. Hopefully you can use, just had a look at the FRED website, do like the NZ FREDs.
Christchurch where we are based has had another round of “after shocks,“ we seem to be settling down again.
Enjoyed the FRED flying last night, had the son on the camera and I just did some circuits to get the clip. FRED was keen to go and with the summer temps very pleasant. The flying is off the home strip.
Thanks very much, Evan, and Happy New Year to you and all the FRED fans everywhere!
