It says the video is unavailable Jason Edit: now it's ok

I'm there.

Strip (temp) and pit area given another hair cut today. Looks good but the main strip needs a cut. Thinking of doing that tomorrow arvo.

Too hot Steve. I was planning to go down this morning but my day got rearranged yesterday so haven't done any flying or mowing. Gazz, if you read this you can take it that you can mow tomorrow. I wi...

So if someone here put up the asking price, how are you going to tell your wife you just sold her on the internet for one bottle of VB? I can see pain in your future.

Sounds like you have been a naughty boy. Did you buy "another" plane? :)

Will we see you at the flying field one weekend? Plenty of planes and people to guide you toward MAAA Bronze and beyond.

To avoid polluting the video clips thread, I thought I'd start a different thread for things slightly off topic. Being a video on rotating blades, I guess this video just sneaks in as being remotely r...

Yes. I walked through. It is dry and in very good shape (completely unaffected). The "main" strip is water logged again. If Darren comes down tomorrow, he'd be going back home again without getting th...

I'm there tomorrow. I'll check the thread for first arrival time. Willy shows the wind at 3km/h in the morning.

Interesting issue with the gear. Nicely done with the test flight there BB.

Hey, you nicked my plane? Or am I seeing double?

must have been a wiring connection? Perplexing but it seems sorted eh?

Great news Steve. That means that although the water covered the new strip around the top soil fill, the water couldn't have been flowing fast enough/long enough to wash it away. That brings new confi...

Top stuff BB.

My mower is in at the mower doctors for a quote on a makeover.

Thanks!

ha, ha. Good one Wayne.

Flame suit on - it's 37 deg C in Melbourne. Melbourne and Sydney seem to be opposite in weather. Those pictures are quite disheartening considering the fine tuning planned this weekend for A-Day.

Is that your garage or do you have a super cool boss at work that is in to RC planes?

So tomorrow is looking like it's not going to happen?

Hilarious! I always wondered about the turbo entabulator's influence on the sinusoidal dingle arm in Logo's power train. Now I know! :).

... and you didn't even know !!

Guys, I haven't figured out how to copy and paste fancy pictures from web pages but if you look at Willy Weather link http://www.willyweather.com.au/nsw/greater-western-sydney/parramatta.html , it sh...

Interesting day Saturday Rob. BB looped the Airwolf. Cool as a cucumber he was. Kieran maidened your Spitty Sunday. I picked it as a cherry flight (psychic I am). Kieran did a superb job flying it M1...

Now you know why he said it was fantastic :shock:

i might get there a bit earlier with the mower.

I saw that video about two years ago. Mighty fast planes.

"Heaps of admiration for your work Jason..." I think you mean Mick! Too many M&M's there Wayne.

Did you dial in some expo BB?

I am a bit troubled. If there is no-one to open the gates as they are keen to fly elsewhere, I might reconsider my intentions. Is anyone planning to open up and fly at McCoy?

Good onya Mick. My first planes were scratch built (nothing like this though). Didn't even know about RC at the time. BNF and PNP have bypassed the art of building one's own plane. I dips my lid to ya...

Frank, there is such a plane in real life. It's not the Chinese thinking of a new model name. http://www.aviationtrivia.info/images/rare_bear.jpg

Que diable sont vous guy de parler en français? Nous ne pouvons pas comprendre que vous.

I must say, the new (temp) strip position seems quite resilient.. and it certainly has been put to the test!

Mick, Be careful. Julia tells porkies.

I actually know Marco. I watched him fly many a weekend down at SSSFA. He had a Logo 600 too. A really nice guy and one of the best RC heli pilots in the country. A bit hard core here but he is an ult...

Doing electrical work again. Hate these freebies my wife puts me down for. Tomorrow morning seems ok but forecast suggests storms in the arvo. What a novelty they would be since we haven't seen rain ...

Runway mowed this morning by Jason and Wayne. Weather great. Quite a few guys here already. Looking like a nice day apart from the inescapable damp ground underfoot. Expect to walk in though.

I got me the Nimbus too around 1975. It looked so cool and I was so impressed with my new balsa skills that I must have admired the bare frame for days. I had it with me on the lounge. My younger s...

Chris mowed the strip the other day so it is nicely cut. The ground is still soft (but not wet) re runway. The drive down ramp is fine but the field where we drive is pretty well soaked. I think to c...

So when does the Habu get some distance under the wings and terra firma?

Nice edit. No Yak splat.

Maybe the tree stump has moved on.

So they were take off attempts right?
