>I Pm'ed Chris earlier today, I don't seem to have access to the member only forum, who can grant me access ? not wanting to miss the party hey Cheers, Dirk.<

Hi Dirk. You have to register on the website and pick a password.

PS. I had to be a bearer of bad news but there is a chance of rain on Saturday so I think will wait the Friday before completely committing, or so Chris have you got Kevin Barnes and Steve Murray , phone number/email address? We could possibly invite them as well.

Whilst Kieran takes care of the technical side of the Forum it is still up to the Secretary to feed him the information to change.

HI All,

Went down for some flights today, great day for it btw. However, the lock on the 2nd gate seems to be broken and would not re latch. I have left it on the pole. I am off to Newcastle for Christmas so if any Committee Member ventures down to have a look at it you may need to buy a new one.

Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year.

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Busboy - 21-12-2016

OK Chris. If I end up down there tomorrow I'll have a look at it...

---

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Busboy - 22-12-2016

2nd gate lock is in working order, go to members only for combination change.
I did not change the combination, as with a lock on the club box, somehow it has changed one of the dials.

PST, after being stung by a wasp, the wasp nest under the 2nd gate post where the council have access to their lock has been destroyed....... OUCH.......

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - secant0give - 01-01-2017

The lock has been fixed its back to the origanal combination

Not sure what the field will be like after 2 days constant rain, some very heavy. Will check first thing tomorrow and post accordingly.
Members are asked that if they venture down please check for the sign saying "no driving in", thanks.

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - dfw - 06-01-2017

Thanks, Chris.
Weather looks good for tomorrow morning, let's hope we find the field in 'acceptable' condition.

Went down this morning...ok I was an optimist... hoping to get just a few flights... not long there and put the planes away, didnt get a flight. Water on the strip in usual places and road in... was more rain later in the day so tomorrow expecting it will be drive in.

Nice rainbow though over field though

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - helijeli - 06-01-2017

Stopped by the field around 5pm, lots of water on the runways.
Sorry, took some good photos but couldn't work out how to attach them.
Except for pools of water at the bottom of the driveway, the ground along the treeline is still pretty firm in regard to car access. Chris will make that decision. Probably no point with the state of the runways though, water may recede overnight but runways will probably still be pretty soggy.

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Chris Mc - 07-01-2017

Good day flying today. Tomorrow looks a ripper, warm, sunny and light winds.

Would be nice to see a good roll out of Members instead of the usual 3-5 we have been getting lately.

I will be out tomorrow with the CL84 Tilt Wing and HK G2 AutoGyro amongst others.

Does anyone know if the field got a mow this week with all the hot weather?

Or is it a big wheel and belly lander day?

---

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - helijeli - 14-01-2017

The guys mowed a couple of days ago, so they must have braved the heat. Damn hot now, even after midnight, still over 30 deg in Cherrybrook. Going to sleep on the couch with air con. Bedroom aircon is dead and upstairs is very hot.
Not sure about tomorrow - forecast is for another hot day but showers as well, morning and evening. Have worked on a couple of planes and want to get them in the air. Will see how it looks in the morning. Hmm, haven't charged batteries ...

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Chris Mc - 20-01-2017

Not sure how the field held up after today's rain which fell for about 45 minutes. Winds is mild to moderate and maybe a shower 1-5 mils.

Sunday is looking much better, no rain and light winds.

I won't be there till 10am so whomever gets there early may want to put a post on here or the FB page.

---

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - helijeli - 20-01-2017

I'm also doing Sunday. Wind 20-25k.
Tomorrow's forecast is 30-45k wind.

I always use Willy Weather and put in postcode 2146 and that doesn't say as high as you state.
