Hmm, I’m free tomorrow but looks like a fair bit of rain over the weekend. Will make a judgement in the morning and charge batteries then if I make the go decision.

I suspect flying not likely again this weekend. Maybe some building or repairs at home.

...and yet, I’m looking out my back door this morning, the sun is shining and not a breath of wind! Just to tease us I think. I’m sure the field is saturated and there is meant to be wind and rain on...

Home from work at 2am, so might have a sleep in Saturday morning but plan to come down maybe around lunchtime.

I’d better charge some batteries. Was thinking Sunday the better weather day. But tomorrow now looks ok too. Will probably pop down mid morning.

Although forecast says 40 k/hr wind around midday. Sunday is supposed to be a bit calmer. I might come down Sunday morning.

Hi Richard, there are around 6 Heli Pilots in our club that I can think of, plus a couple that haven't been down to the field in a while. Most members are fixed wing Pilots but we do have a Heli pract...

Not a Documemtary, but Helicopter movie: Blue Thunder - 9:30pm tonight on 7mate (CH73). I've never actually seen it, circa the eighties, much liberties taken with physics etc I'm sure.

Recorded it on my Computer, have just edited out the ads and will put it on my TV Hard Drive for viewing at my liesure.

...yeah! that's what I'm talkin' about! as well as upgrading the motor, I'm going to instal a hatch on top of the nose so I've got easy battery access & don't have to remove the wing every battery cha...

This is a video from my Cessna 182 Foamie. Camera is pointing forward & down 45 deg, from a belly pod I velcroed under the fuselage. It acts as a skid on landing, but it does flick up dirt into the ca...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko7xFAKifxM Ron found a new way to launch his Funjet.

I'm sure it was a nice plane. But what about some sympathy for the poor innocent Helicopter that was just minding its own business when it got run into by some passing plane that wasn't looking wher...
