I flew Monday on a sickie but after a number of attempts, I yielded to the Magpie whom sat on my Apprentice and rode it into the strip. And then proceeded to disable the vertical tail before strutting off as if to say " So There".
Still managed approximately 30 to 40 minutes in the air. Conditions were almost perfect
Looking to be a challenging weekend of flying with the wind expected to be around 15-20 KPH/7-10 Knots. from the southwest, swinging around from the north later.
Wont be there this week fellas... off to Canberra for weekend.
I will be test flying my Texan at Pit Town on Saturday afternoon hopefully.
Hope the weather is nice !!
Shame I wont be there tomorrow either due to house inspection. But looking at the weather report, maybe a bit windy for my liking as well. But that's ok, got a couple of planes to build.
It's going to be a perfect day for flying. Willy's predicting 8kph at 10am dropping to 3 by 1pm.
See ya there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Damn!
I also thought it was going to be a bit windy, so didn't charge any batteries, but I can now see that its a perfect day outside.
Ah well, everyone that's gone down to the field... enjoy!
Long weekend coming up.
Looks like Sunday will be the best of the 3 days. Sunny with winds up to 20k/hr.
Sat & Mon will be fairly windy, up 35 or so k/hr.
I agree. Sunday is my pick for the weekend. Rest and Repair on Saturday.
I'm heading there today because I cant make it on Sunday guys. I was hoping Chris was going to be there so I can give him some paper work LOL.
Sorry mate, not much point with the wind getting up.

Yeah Ive given it a miss, I'll try and make it for a short while tomorrow. Im off to grand final in the arvo so it wont be a long visit.
Going to be at the field early on Saturday. Wind, according to Willy, will get gusty at 11am.
Looks good flying conditions tomm...sunday is windy...i had plan to fly tomm..will b there at around 8
chris r u coming tomm??...i was mentioning today
Yeah I was. Wind will be tops 23.5 so I'm going to give it a go.
Would have been a good day today I'm assuming?
Yes it was ...i left early at 1130 ...only around six members showed up..though it was a good day to fly
To windy, having the day off........damnit !!!
Yes, watching the trees here in Cherrybrook - definitely too windy for reasonable flying enjoyment.
Haven't been down to the field in weeks, for various reasons, weather included (mainly wind).
Just looked at the forecast for the week - pretty much the same every day - 25 to 30 km/hr wind.
Rain and wind forecast for the weekend...
Sigh... haven't been flying for ages.
if you come early at around 8 on a wind predicted day...you can fly for atleast 2 hrs...in early morning there is very less wind...
i have hardly missed a weekend ...even the rain predicted days i have flown
I will wait and see what Saturday serves up before I venture down to the field, at this stage it's supposed to rain from 2am for most of the day. Sunday is looking good.

I'm going to see if I can have a leave pass for Sunday morning. I haven't been down in weeks and hanging to get back there.
Not looking a good day today for flying :-(

I woke up early and the wind was just way to strong to even worry about packing my planes. Hope it goes away and we can have some good flying weather.
Typical Monday, warm sunny day and no freakin wind

Yes, but I am on an RDO and have been out this morning with a few planes
Great news
This weekend is looking better although they predicting light rain, 1-5 mls, which is nothing. Winds look good at this stage.
