RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - IrishWolf - 22-09-2016

I flew Monday on a sickie but after a number of attempts, I yielded to the Magpie whom sat on my Apprentice and rode it into the strip. And then proceeded to disable the vertical tail before strutting off as if to say " So There".
Still managed approximately 30 to 40 minutes in the air. Conditions were almost perfect

Looking to be a challenging weekend of flying with the wind expected to be around 15-20 KPH/7-10 Knots. from the southwest, swinging around from the north later.

Shame I wont be there tomorrow either due to house inspection. But looking at the weather report, maybe a bit windy for my liking as well. But that's ok, got a couple of planes to build.

Damn!
I also thought it was going to be a bit windy, so didn't charge any batteries, but I can now see that its a perfect day outside.
Ah well, everyone that's gone down to the field... enjoy!

Long weekend coming up.
Looks like Sunday will be the best of the 3 days. Sunny with winds up to 20k/hr.
Sat & Mon will be fairly windy, up 35 or so k/hr.

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Chris Mc - 01-10-2016

I agree. Sunday is my pick for the weekend. Rest and Repair on Saturday.

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Spook - 01-10-2016

To windy, having the day off........damnit !!!

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - helijeli - 16-10-2016

Yes, watching the trees here in Cherrybrook - definitely too windy for reasonable flying enjoyment.
Haven't been down to the field in weeks, for various reasons, weather included (mainly wind).
Just looked at the forecast for the week - pretty much the same every day - 25 to 30 km/hr wind.

Sigh... haven't been flying for ages.

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Babar - 20-10-2016

if you come early at around 8 on a wind predicted day...you can fly for atleast 2 hrs...in early morning there is very less wind...

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Chris Mc - 20-10-2016

I will wait and see what Saturday serves up before I venture down to the field, at this stage it's supposed to rain from 2am for most of the day. Sunday is looking good.

I'm going to see if I can have a leave pass for Sunday morning. I haven't been down in weeks and hanging to get back there.

I woke up early and the wind was just way to strong to even worry about packing my planes. Hope it goes away and we can have some good flying weather.
