To sick to venture out
Gravity sucks, or should I say, is the downfall of all things flying. It's the way it's controlled that makes the end memorable or not.

By the looks of the rain forecast, I doubt there will be any flying this weekend :-(

Has anyone been down the field to check out the condition after all the rain?

I suspect flying not likely again this weekend.
Maybe some building or repairs at home.

...and yet, I’m looking out my back door this morning, the sun is shining and not a breath of wind!
Just to tease us I think. I’m sure the field is saturated and there is meant to be wind and rain on the way.

Yay! good to hear! Weather looks ok tomorrow, warm and light winds, good day for all. Some risk of rain but <1mm so wont be a problem. Sunday is a bit windier, still ok, but tomorrow is the choice day. I'll be getting down mid morning, I'm craving any stick time after being away for 4 wks! Will also have the axn trainer with me for any beginners/ newbies.

I’d better charge some batteries. Was thinking Sunday the better weather day. But tomorrow now looks ok too. Will probably pop down mid morning.

It’s been a while for me, but I have just bought a drone. ( much easier than the Heli!), and I thought I would drop in this Sat 1/12. I’ll have to rejoin too. Cheers.

Although forecast says 40 k/hr wind around midday.
Sunday is supposed to be a bit calmer. I might come down Sunday morning.

Anyone planning on heading down to the field tomorrow morning? I’ve got a new acro quad to shakedown. I also wouldn’t mind putting my long ranger through it’s paces, as I plan to take this with me down to the south coast and I haven’t had it in the air for a while.
