Due to the soggy conditions of the vehicle access road, members are requested NOT to drive into the field. Walk ins only

Thanks for all your hard work Kieran, the board looks really good. I can't make it to the field this weekend but will be hitting the simulator hard. On the positive side I have started the build of m...

Do we need to organize a working bee this Saturday to repair the damage? Everyone to bring a shovel?

Looking good for slope soaring, anyone interested?

I was thinking of Mt ANNAN, I went out there last Friday, apparently it's a good winter site and works well with west winds. They don't mind powered since they let me fly my Kinetic. There are three f...

Chris, was thinking of going Saturday morning depending on the wind. Willy is forecasting 30km which I believe is great for the standard slope soarer plane with good penetration. I think the glider ...

Good news, I just checked, there has been NO rain at the indoor Netball court in Lidcombe so it will be bone dry for Saturday nite indoor flying. I will have the new MAAA cards with me on Saturday ...

Flying conditions were just about perfect today. Managed some 40minutes of air time with the Kinetic although my landings got worse with each try. Managed to stay dry but just about everyone seemed to...

Gazz, I am planing on dropping by McCoy at 9am on Sunday and can open up, I want to practice some takeoffs. Will be there for at least two hours. KevB

Sounds good, I'll be there.

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 ...

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

Latest report is that the field is flyable for this week end, however there is still a lot of water soaked into the ground and it may not be practical to drive our cars into the pits area. A decision...

As of 9am Saturday our man at the field the Flying Fisho has reported that the strip is flyable and that its ok to park on the field so the gate is open. However there are a few wet patches still on t...

I have someone's fold up chair, it was left at the field on Saturday. Its in my car so catch me at the field next Saturday or Sunday.

The weather is looking good for the Australia Day weekend. And a reminder that on Sunday the Committee is putting on a BBQ for Pilots and their families. See you all Sunday.

With Sunday predicted to be a hot day the BBQ will be a brunch event so those Pilots who are at the field early to avoid the heat will be able to get breakfast. All going well food will be served from...
