RE: Sticky: Flying this Week... - gbanger - 03-11-2011

You got that right!
Bloody rain!

---

RE: Sticky: Flying this Week... - smuzz - 03-11-2011

Yes, it's not good at all - steady light rain for hours now.
I haven't been over to the field for a look around, but the ground around my house is well and truly saturated, which means McCoy will be really bad
You're right Steve, it sucks - if it had held off, the field might just have been able to recover for the weekend, but it's got Buckley's of that now.

You are not alone, I think this year by far has been the worst weekend weather wise for rc flying at prcac.
On a better note Area 51 will be Ok to fly hard hopefully this weekend if weather clears

Gday Arron

I know what you mean, I literally cannot remember when I last had a fly of my fixed wing stuff.
I have this sexy looking box with all sorts of switches lights and shit on it, it has DX8 loudly emblazed on the front. Anyone know what this contraption does?

Cheers
Rob B

Aaron, I feel your pain about not flying. Actually I feel my own pain, but that's another story.

RE: Sticky: Flying this Week... - samste - 09-11-2011

Hi Gazz, Jason or others more than welcome i'm planning to head down to prcac about 4pm possibly earlier.

RE: Sticky: Flying this Week... - gbanger - 09-11-2011

Hey Steve
I will be there between 3 and 3.30.
Can you bring the streamers.
Gazz

RE: Sticky: Flying this Week... - secant0give - 10-11-2011

I'm at the field it's a little breezy but still flyable

---

RE: Sticky: Flying this Week... - gbanger - 10-11-2011

Sorry Jason I droped by at 3.30 and it was howling so I left.

---

RE: Sticky: Flying this Week... - secant0give - 10-11-2011

That's ok Gazz
Did you see the bike tracks on the strip
??

I'm going to be here for another 1/2 hour as the wind is beginning to fall of even more
and I don't have much to carry down to the strip

The road in looks in great shape but the strip has the usual mud pools
And the grass is pretty hairy, like Gadaffy's camel, needs a shave

---

RE: Sticky: Flying this Week... - gbanger - 10-11-2011

Yes Jason I had a very good look around (see my field condition report)

RE: Sticky: Flying this Week... - Flying fisho - 11-11-2011

Am presuming from field condition reports that Kelso is out of the question for the weekend. Have had one weekend flying my new T28 and am looking forward to another weekend of flying (thanks to Gaz I have 2 new sets of magnets installed that snap the canopy shut tighter than a giant clam and no way is it going to fly off again & rely on parking lot disks to fatefully locate it). Area 51 hopefully is an active venue, gravel or no gravel.

RE: Sticky: Flying this Week... - samste - 14-11-2011

Message to The Semi Retired guys like myself (I Wish I Was) who are keen for a Fly Tommorow.

Let Me Know am thinking Heading Down if nothing else pops up , Not sure what the Weather has install for Tommorow though.

RE: Sticky: Flying this Week... - smuzz - 14-11-2011

Steve - KevB and I were thinking about a fly tomorrow, but out at Penrith was Kev's suggestion. McCoy might be easier though and I've only got a small belly-lander Mustang which is more suited to McCoy than anywhere else.

The weather forecast is good - no rain and very light breeze.

What time were you thinking of?

RE: Sticky: Flying this Week... - smuzz - 14-11-2011

No worries - I've not heard back from Kev yet, so I'll let you know.

---

RE: Sticky: Flying this Week... - smuzz - 14-11-2011

We're off to PEMAC tomorrow Steve - Kevin had already organised an outing with John Hale, so we're out there to see what the newly renovated field looks like.
Join us out there if you can!

RE: Sticky: Flying this Week... - Claudius - 16-11-2011

Sorry Steve, didn't catch this till just now. Was hoping for an afternoon flight, but not looking good based on the wind picking up now...

---

RE: Sticky: Flying this Week... - srl - 16-11-2011

The wind started at 8.30. and now rain not far away.
Back to building.

RE: Sticky: Flying this Week... - chrism - 22-11-2011

Hi All,
I am on holidays for the rest of the week and am thinking of venturing out to PEMAC tomorrow morning and/or the following days if the weather is favorable.
Let me know if there is anyone out there interested in joining me.

Cheers
Chris

RE: Sticky: Flying this Week... - paulj - 22-11-2011

I'd be interested in a flight tomorrow, but doesn't look like the weather is (even if the rain holds off, McCoy must be in a poor state after today's downpour )

RE: Sticky: Flying this Week... - smuzz - 22-11-2011

... I think it's good weather for marking exam papers

---

RE: Sticky: Flying this Week... - samste - 22-11-2011

The Only Place that may be any good would be area 51 if the rain disappeared Chris, as i for one would love to go for a mid week fly
The worst Thing is the weather forecast for the next three weeks isn't good either

Steve

RE: Sticky: Flying this Week... - Skidz - 23-11-2011

If the weather does improve (??) please let me know as I have the chain and master key. Gazz has the club key.

RE: Sticky: Flying this Week... - gbanger - 23-11-2011

Hi Chris.
I just got back to sunny Sydney (NOT!) this afternoon. I am on holidays for the rest of the week. At this stage looking at the forecast flying anywhere looks crap.
But if you are going for a fly let me know, I might come along.
Dave I will drop by and pick up the lock for A51 if that is OK.
Gotta sort out my new Trojan and get some serious build time on my L39
