Things look pretty good for the coming weekend. Gary and I got the mowing out of the way this afternoon (he did most of it - and he was buggered afterwards too, the old codger).

Should be a great couple of days ...

The field is looking good !!
You should see a few less reeds at the end of the strip as well

[smuzz]

Thanks Jason - much appreciated, particularly since you won't be here to enjoy the results this weekend! Good luck in Maitland!

[Flying fisho]

Thanks guys, looks like I wsill be reaping the rewards of your efforts again.

[gbanger]

I will be down nice and early this morning, should be there about 8

[Flying fisho]

Sorry for the late notice, but is better than no notice at all. I will be opening the gates & setting up the field for flying between 8.00 & 8.30 tomorrow.

[helijeli]

Hope everyone who went down had great flying - looks like the weather was good. Spent Sat packing for our 10 days on the Gold Coast. Hopefully will get down to the field in 2 weekends time.

[Steven]

Just a note, tomorrow I'll have the video up of Gazz's, George's and Jason's FMS saturday silliness in the club video section.

[smuzz]

The formation flying was good to watch - especially the loop which was pretty well executed and the low-passes.

Here's another cautionary note though, from a bloke in the US who was doing something similar. "Ace" doesn't strike me as a raw-prawn as I've been reading lots of his posts, yet he was caught out badly here ..

Easy done that is

[samste]

I'm working Tommorow so flying for me me will be out unless i finish esrly and if weather allows me.

[Steven]

Not looking good, wind wise.

If it is too gusty I will stay in and play with the bits of my little Eflite Jenny for indoor flying. Not good for maidening.

[Steven]

It's calmed down a lot now.

[gbanger]

I wont be available this weekend, weather permitting, I am doing an Instructors course out west.

[stillflyin]

Will be interested to hear how AMAS course differs from MAS course. Enjoy it Gazz.

I won't be flying tomorrow, quite apart from the expected high wind I'm going to an AGM.

[Flying fisho]

I'm looking at my wind gauge tree with despair,
its branches are swaying with gusto in the air,
The clouds in the sky, provide rain that is falling,
so flying conditions for today are really appalling.
I curse you Willy for the weather you provide,
for my activities today will all be inside.

[wingtipper]

anyone flying tomorrow morning ?

[stillflyin]

Looks like a good cross wind again. Should be fun. I'll be there. Who else?

[smuzz]

Yip! - I'll be there with the Dynam T-28 for Greg to take.
I've spent the afternoon doing various mods to it and I think it will be quite good now. I've got two batteries he can have to go with it - I'll probably test-fly it one last time with one of them and then he can take the lot.

[samste]

Working Tommorow, but may finish early and hopefully get down for some flying Time.

Steve

[Flying fisho]

I will be there at my usual time 8 - 8.30 to open the field & set up the strip for flying. Looking forward to seeing all the guys again.
New guys seem to also be keen to stop by, dont be shy to pull me up for a chat.

[FallingWithStyle]

I'd like to turn up and say hi at about 9am. Do any of you fellas fly with fpv gear?

[gbanger]

I am heading down at 8.30
Have arrived at the field to find the western end of the strip flooded due to a burst water main up at Grace.
The field has water standing from the pilots box to the western end of the strip.
So its not really any good for anything but small aircraft

[FallingWithStyle]

I'm on my way

[Steven]

Bugger Gaz, I need ALL the runway.

[FallingWithStyle]

It was nice meeting everyone this morning, it was very eventful!

First thing I see is a man walking his lawn mower on a leash, followed by a river crossing to watch Colin fly his quad rotor and then an airplane rescue from the reeds. I'll have to finish my own craft and bring it down to show off.

I want a fancy name tag with my face on it!

[secant0give]

I'll be down at the field tomorrow now that the Kitchen mods are just about finished

all I have to do is fit the splash back. But since that's on order and won't be here till late next week

I'm free for the day

See you there

[smuzz]

KevB and myself (... and I think Gazz also) are out at Hart Field tomorrow doing solo endorsements.

Jason, please take note of the fact that the strip was compromised today with flooding from a leaking hydrant in the Grace compound. Only the eastern half of the strip was serviceable, so you might want to pack planes that are STOL capable.

[secant0give]

Thanks Steve

[gbanger]

Jason.
You are welcome to fly tomorrow at Penrith with me as a guest if you like to come out for a fly. I will be arriving at the gate at 8 am sharp, or you could come out with the older folk (Steve) a little later on in the morning, particularly if you have trouble getting up early (like Steve does).
You need a club member to come up and let you through the gate.
