Frank, Here is a useful site: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/ the interesting bits have to do with how you prolong the life of the Lipo (battery temperature) and understanding the ratings.

Don't know what you guys are complaining about , there were three intrepid souls down there flying this morning. Although wearing gumboots made wading from the high ground to the strip a lot easier.

Heading down to McCoy for some hand launched flying, though srl was taking off and landing on the strip yesterday. It will be walk in but can't pass up a blue sky days.

An aircraft canopy from a Parkzone T28 (white) was found in the reeds on Sunday afternoon. Owner please claim.

Sounds good, I'll be there.

Just to add my two bobs worth, let me say the flying was great at McCoy today and by the time I left at 12pm I had been in the air for more than an hour. I must say although a little damp the grass wa...

If Willy is right and the wind drops in the afternoon I will be visiting McCoy then.

Weather looks good, Just about to head to McCoy for some flying.

Nice report Steve. New planes are aways a hassle until all the trimming is sorted, then they become sweet. What i really want to know is how you get your cats to pose so well in your photos?

The weather is looking good for this Wednesday, I'm planning on dropping by there at around 10am. If the grounds ok I will open the gate.

Willy is saying conditions should be good for this Wednesday - I expect to be at McCoy around 9am.

Thanks Gaz, nice to be back.

Also a big thanks to Chris M who arrived latter in the afternoon and then stayed even latter to whipper snip a big chunk of grass on the southern side of the strip.

smuzz Wrote: (02-11-2012, 12:53 PM) -- No worries - the main runway is done and is looking as good as I've ever seen it! -- Great work Smuzz, guess that makes you the "pixie" of the week.

There is entry into McCoy field today, but you will need to turn into the driveway about 50 metres from the actual driveway and go via the industrial parking lot. Look for the witches hats or ask the ...

Parra council have been contacted to see what can be done about this. Its a little more complicated as I believe the the gate and drive way is part of Blacktown council. Secretary

Its looking too wet for me. Although if the rains backs off maybe one or two brave pilots might be tempted.

Thanks for the thought Gazz, unfortunately I'm broke at the moment....dammm
