RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - srl - 15-04-2018

Hi all.
I go a good weekend to be working then.
I'm currently waiting north of Melbourne to go on the Spirit of Tasmania. No parking in Port Melbourne.
3 to 4 metre seas and 2 hours late. It will be a interesting night. I've already eaten so hopefully it will stay down.
Light winds for the Wednesday flying group and indoor that night.

Looks like a fun night on the high seas, Srl lol

Hello All, considering that ANZAC Day falls on a Wednesday this year, out of respect to past and present serving members of Australia's Military, I suggest that there should be no flying on Wednesday until after 12pm Midday, if you intend on going down there that is.

Will be flying tomorrow if its dry. I called in during the week and Mccoy park is looking great and better than ever after being cut by council.

I dropped by about 1:45 on my way home, gate was shut so I kept on going.

I seemed to have missed you yesterday also, munched a bunch of packs from about 11-2 with Stephen though. Good fun, go crashes.

Sorry that I didn't get down yesterday and today. Tried my best but Murphy's Law had other ideas for me, but definately next weekend, for sure....

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - dfw - 04-05-2018

I plan to make it Sunday morning for a quick round.

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Quadzimodo - 04-05-2018

Anyone planning on heading down in the morning?

---

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Busboy - 04-05-2018

I'll be there in the morning

---

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - helijeli - 04-05-2018

I'll be down maybe around 10 (after a sleepin!)

---

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Quadzimodo - 06-05-2018

Best flying weather I have seen in years today. I got 27-minutes and 47-seconds on a single charge (resting 3.8v) out of my little flying wing. Pete gave some great flying instruction to one of our newest and youngest members. Absolutely sensational day!

Where were you Dirk? Did I come too late, or did you just do a no show.

Todd, missed you too mate. Catch ya next weekend.

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - dfw - 07-05-2018

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - helijeli - 11-05-2018

It’s going to be pretty windy Saturday & Sunday. Will give flying a miss this weekend.

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - robbo - 11-05-2018

Will try get down early before the wind

I’d be happy to join you for an early morning flight, but it is raining here now so not so sure what it will be like in the morning. If it’s not too bad by the morning and you are keen, call to wake me and I’ll aim to get there at around 8am.

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - robbo - 12-05-2018

Already wind and rain... wil wait and tomorrow better

It was wet this morning, but the air was pretty still around 9am. I’m thinkin’ if it ain’t rainin’ tomorrow i’ll be headin’ down for an early flight.

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Quadzimodo - 14-05-2018

Looks like the wind might finally ease tomorrow, and the forecast is looking good also. I might try to get down to the field for an early pack or two.

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - srl - 25-05-2018

Perfect weather conditions forecast for tomorrow Saturday and McCoy field has never been better.
Will be down about 11am.

Fantastic value for what you get. Plenty of scope for mods and improvements. I worry about the availability and cost of spares. BTW - Further to discussion at the field the other day, the pitot tube is apparently integrated into the on/off switch.

RE: Sticky: Flying this Weekend... - Quadzimodo - 26-05-2018

Ill be down at the field in the morning.

Hi Rossy,

How did you go with the Parrot Disco ? Very tempted at the $ they go for now. Review post, please ?
