RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Flying fisho - 03-08-2013
Forecast for wind today has changed. Winds increasing to over 20kph expected after 10am. Best to get in for early flights today
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - rustty1 - 03-08-2013
Thanks Wayne ,see you there.
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - BenR - 04-08-2013
An update from yesterday - I owe someone an OrangeRX 6ch receiver (which I had at home, but not at the field). Can they remind me so I can repay them.
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Chris Mc - 04-08-2013
That would have been "Chook".
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Servo - 04-08-2013
I have someone's fold up chair, it was left at the field on Saturday. Its in my car so catch me at the field next Saturday or Sunday.
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - popeyepete - 04-08-2013
Felt good dusting of the wings and flying again today, just brought one plane down, the good ol' Funfighter T28.
Happily joined the "High Voltage" club and clipped the lines today, spewing when I saw it tumbling after the strike on the uppermost lines on the tower, Just about to give up and commence the walk of fame, but then the mighty plane resumed control and I was able to limp it back to the runway safely.
To my amazement this is how it returned!!!
Apart from the noisy prop sound and lack of power, it flew nicely back to terrafirma. Quick change of the prop and it was back up 10mins later.
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Skidz - 04-08-2013
You can join the "I survived and landed" club. There is one other member inducted this year. I think Wingtipper was the other inductee. A full on smack in to the wires and a piloted 'limp' back to the strip with thumbs dancing on those controls.

I didn't quite make that club, however I did join the "Hit the Pylon and plummet to earth in many many pieces" Club! I'm sure I'm not the only member of that one!
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - secant0give - 05-08-2013
I've survived the wires and landed with no damage save for a dent in the leading edge of the wing. first and only time I've had contact with them. Funny thing was I was just thinking my little red Yak was getting a little close when I clipped them.
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - wingtipper - 09-08-2013
hoping to be there tomorrow f all goes well with the weather . around 10 am . i'll be taking the mx2 . the foamy yak and the rarebears .
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - secant0give - 09-08-2013
Good stuff I'll be there probably aroung lunc time or if I'm luchy a little before
We'll have to get the pylons set up for a bit of practice !!
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - wingtipper - 09-08-2013

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Flying fisho - 09-08-2013
Sorry guys I wont be able to do my usual early morning open & field setup. Wont get there until about 10am, got a HK parcel to pick up from the post office & some new lenses for my glasses.
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - BenR - 09-08-2013
Hoping to get down to the field tomorrow, depends if/when my instructor will be there. On a related note, does anyone know if someone rated to assess bronze wing certification will be there tomorrow morning?
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - IrishWolf - 09-08-2013
Hi Guys,
/Will be down in the morning but need A LOT of help putting together my Bixler.
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - secant0give - 10-08-2013
I'm packing the car and will be there shortly
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Claudius - 10-08-2013
Looking perfect for tomorrow!
George, if you're coming down, any chance I could borrow your FatShark's for a couple of flights?
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - secant0give - 10-08-2013
I'll be there early tomorrow
See you there !!
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Flying fisho - 10-08-2013
The weather gods are shining on us for tomorrow. No rain & low single digits kph winds.
I intend opening up 8-8.30am as usual. Looking forward to seeing you all there tomorrow. Dont forget AGM 11am. Non-members are also welcome to attend, a perfect oportunity for all to learn a bit more about our club, what we have done & what direction we are headed.

No problem see u then
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Skidz - 11-08-2013
I wil be there around 10.30am. Better dust off something that flies.
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Flying fisho - 16-08-2013
Not looking good for tomorrow, 8am wind forecast is a gusty 23kph increasing as the day progresses. We saw about 4 planes bite the dust last weekend with slight winds. Although it is good to get used to flying in the wind, last time I flew in similar wind, my Rhapsody ended up in the repair corner at home. I have a few build projects that will more suitably occupy my time tomorrow.
I will review the wind forecast in the morning and may fly if conditions are more favourable.
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Chris Mc - 16-08-2013
I probably won't be down tomorrow as I have to go and buy a car for the new job (yeah sorry guys, no more donuts).
Wife was helping pick out a new one with questions like.....are you after luxury.....no I said.....performance.....no......mileage.....no....so what are you after damnit....something to fit the planes in lol. I think they could hear her groan in Melbourne.
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Flying fisho - 16-08-2013
Some wives just dont understand priorities. Maybe a stretch wagon might be in order.
Is anybody going to brave the wind tomorrow?
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Frank - 16-08-2013
Yep, I was hoping to bid on that chair!! Helis don't feel the wind that much so I'll b down there tomorrow.
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - helijeli - 16-08-2013
I'll be down as well. My balsa trainer isn't too bad in the wind. Will make a judgement on my Helis. They might not feel the wind too much, but still makes me nervous!
RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Flying fisho - 17-08-2013
By 9.00am the now almost calm winds are forecast to exceed 35kph, I take my hat off to anybody willing to fly in that (the word Kamikaze springs to mind). In my build chair I will stay. Dont see much point in multiple trips up & down 3 flights of stars to load & unload my car for less that 1 or 2 flights.
My wind guage tree is waving it's arms saying "danger Will Robinson, danger"
