Gold Wings test

(for anyone who doesn't know, I fly radio controlled planes..) I finally got around to taking my gold wings test today. It wasn't too hard, I completed all the manoeuvers on the first attempt and just managed to do it all in one flight, with the plane running out of fuel while taxiing back after landing. We only need bronze wings to fly unsupervised at LARCS but the MAAA requires a "minimum of M.A.A.A. Gold Wings standard" for pilots at public displays, which doesn't mean you have to have passed the test, but it's a good way to prove you're capable of it..
