Parramatta Radio Control Aircraft Club

Anybody aware that this is on this weekend, 26th - 27th July?

They are also having a Boot Sale.

I'll be there Saturday.

HMAS - Vineyard is having it's fly in on the long weekend, 4th & 5th October. As the Club was well represented last year I was wondering if we will be attending this event, as a Club?

Last year we were approached by Bob Carpenter directly and asked to show up as a group and to run some raffles.
I haven't heard anything similar this year myself, but perhaps Kevin has been contacted?...

Hi Guys,

I have checked all emails received & there are definitely no emails relating to:-

RE: HMAS - Vineyard Fly In Day.

I suggest that our President give Bob a call to see about our participation.

Hi guys. I’m planning on going on the Saturday and Sunday, I figure I can act as an observer are all just help out where I can. Are we sure, it is on this year?.

Kind regards, Bob.

It's definitely on Bob, it was advertised in the latest MAAA Newsletter sent out the other day.

I won't be able to stay overnight, but I'd like to come for a stickybeak on Saturday, and maybe fly a few packs, if possible.

Do you guys reckon people will be bringing their kids, or is it not really a family thing? Ta.

Last year it was a public event on the Sunday there was about 400 people I believe to fly Sunday you must fly sat for approval has any spoke to Jason v about it I have lost his number will endeavor to contact him tonight so how

Andre - it's most definitely a kid/family-friendly thing on the Sunday, but the Saturday is intended for setup and for the host club to assess candidate pilots for Sunday. I don't really see a problem in bringing kids on Saturday though, I'm sure there'll be several there.

Craig - I think I have the PRCAC banner, I'm pretty sure Gary dropped it at my place. So, I'll make some arrangements for it to be there, one way or the other (I'm not sure I'll have transport on either day).

There will certainly be some great flying to watch on sunday. There's a few big IMAC style Gassers going to be tearing up the sky. Brilliant to just to watch!!

hi all I have spoken with bob at vineyard and are welcome to set up as we did last year I am trying to get out there early to setup
I plan to stay overnight the weather looks like it is going to be perfect
hope to see you all there

What time do the gates open Sunday? would love to come and have a look.

It's difficult to say, by the looks of it mate - here's where I expected we'd be told ...

... but the recommendation is that everyone telephones Bob - a strange arrangement! I'd guess though, if you got there at 9:00am things would be getting well underway.

Thanks i did have a look on there site earlier and also found no information about the day, i am sure Bob will be inundated with calls.
Thanks again. Garrick

Some Photos from today's Fly-in at Vineyard.
Craig's big Cessna is impressive but he had trouble getting the petrol engine to run properly. A minute into the maiden and he was calling dead-stick as the motor cut but he managed to land unscathed.

Nice pics John !!
