Todays forecast is for early light winds then increasing from 18kph at 11am to 28kph at midday then 37kph by 2.00pm. My golf day has been cancelled so I will be at he field by 8.30 to enjoy the earl...

Will leave it up to the imagination of everybody who looks twice at that photo now that I have drawn attention to it. The word pleasurecraft might get a new meaning, wishful thinking could be another ...

Hopefully servo's I have chosen will do the job as are already shipped from HK awaiting arrival at home. The first one you gave link to was a park servo & would have required adapter plate which would...

This thread raised much discussion last year and worth a read again by our newbies. A redbelly was spotted today when retrieving a plane from the reeds. Hopefully this notice wont do anything more tha...

Welcome Joseph, You sound quite enthusiastic & I admire your scratch build patience. You are more than welcome to join our bunch of like minded fliers at our field. Keep an eye out on our Flying thi...

The Committee has set the club fees as detailed below. Renewing Senior - $50 + $MAAA = $150

"if ya can't handle the heat, stay out of the sauna" was my initial thoughts when I temporarily decided to not have a second flight yesterday. Unfortunately I entered the sauna again & got fried. Am n...

Legal gun ownership, doesn't that mean stored in a locked cupboard. Excuse me Mr Intruder, can you wait for me to get my key & unlock my gun cupboard. Oh, by the way Mr Burglar, dont bother looking i...

The wind tests our flying at best, At times it is really a pest, Trees make the wind swirl around, and planes head towards the ground. Thumbs twitch to keep the plane level, but the wind is the c...

Followed the happy wife happy life motto today & took Marg to see her mum. Should get some good brownie points, clocked up over 500km with more than 6 hours driving. I figured the field would be too ...

Email received from Graham. "Greetings Funsters Because of exam desks in the auditorium on 3 June we will have to change our Indoor Flying night to Wednesday, 10 June. Kindly take note and advis...

Excellent and looks like flyable at McCoy too. We might see more of you at our field.

Willy is looking kindly upon us tomorrow & thanks to the mowing brigade, should be a cracker day for flying. Being an early riser I will be there early (8am ish)as usual & set up the field for flyin...

Well done Ben & I believe we have several other prospective bronze wingers amongst us. Gather up the courage and get tested, you might be surprised.

Model Aeronautical Association of Australia (MAAA) is the insurance that our club operates from. Under supervision both heli & fixed wing pilots can fly (4 times as a visitor before required to join t...

Was at the field today for a few hours today and was great to catch up with a few of the guys willing to walk in to do their stuff. Kevin was there and we had a walk around and made an executive decis...

Thanks for the birthday wishes guys (I agree with Rob we 11 April birthday guys are awesome). I also got an awesome birthday gift from Margaret, a voucher for a 30 minute flight over the Hunter Valley...

Tis the reason I posted notification of their presence and the importance of this thread. I believe it is a must to view before venturing to the field & what I believe is a must to be posting on when ...

Gaz gave me some of that velcro strapping, good stuff. I have also bought a 5m roll of 25mm 2 sided velcro from Bunnings (Velcro Reusable Wrap) strong enough to hold a house brick.

The wind forecast has turned a bit sour for tomorrow but should be reasonable until late morning but by 10am is creeping up to 20kph. I will be opening about 8.30 and suggest hopeful fliers get there ...

I remember you Chris, please feel free to come to the club & fly as a visitor 4 times. I am sure we can work around getting a few more days in. I hope to be back flying as soon as possible in some cap...

Nothing wrong with Turnigy batteries from Hobby King NSW warehouse, will serve the purpose well (Gary is an avid fan of the turnugy nanotechs) And on other threads you will see discussions on the HK o...

As I time my flights to reduce cells no lower than 3.8 v to preserve battery longevity, under load what could I expect a battery voltage to drop to at the end of my flight. Theoretically speaking of c...

So pleased you have got all the quirks out of this labour of love. A happy ending is what we all dream of. Congratulations on a remarkable effort. Hope my earlier attempt at humour was not received wi...

Tomorrow's forecast is not looking the best with 50% chance of showers but may be only coastal. At best for me I will be a late arrival at the fiels as I have to pick up my new spectacles. However d...

I had 3 Thursday flexidays in a row which allowed me to grab a good share of the mowing. Alas that has also been followed by 2 weeks without a flex & I will not be available to mow again tomorrow. Hop...

Looks bigger than it did in construction stage, awesome. Looking foreward to seeing it in the air.

I like the GPS option for it's simplicity, and if it is inacurate all the better, I can tell people my 176kph result from the Pulse was potentially 190kph :twisted:

Hope you guys had a good day flying today. Marg & I walked to The Gap from Watsons Bay wharf but I held on tight to the rails to avoid a different flight to what I enjoy.

Rain has stopped, field will be soggy all over, current wind 22kph gusting to 35kph. #@&* I think our flying weekend is f#$*&ed

I have tomorrow off and intend to mow about 8.30am. All of strip should be dry enough to mow but previously unmowed areas will be difficult. Any assistants with a mower will be appreciated..

Hey buddy, I talked about possibly dying mowing in the heat, how would a 57yo guy survive a 30yo woman.

Pretty risky stuff, perhaps they should have got that Hobby King guy to hold it by hand.

Thanks Claudio & I do agree with it's looks. You had me stumped for a while Gazz, had to google Exocoetidae :lol: , well done. Although I am hoping you are not referring to Potanichthys xingyiensis o...

I am at the field and no evidence of substantial rain overnight. Strip is firm for flying. Skies looking ominous for more rain. Your own call for flying. I will open 8ish but no guarantee for how long...

On my way if timing ok

From memory yesterday was the first time I actually maidened a plane by myself although thankfully I had Gazza standing beside me as a security blanket and a potential pass the parcel recipient if nec...

Yes being reserved is the way to go, we wouldn't want to insult the low life vandals would we. Although by there obvious inteligence (or lack thereof), they probably couldn't read what we write anyway...

OMG slept in till well after 7am I cant remember the last time that happened. Although not raining at the moment, Stratocumulus clouds are present & likely to produce Willy's 100% chance of rain. Ye...

Has anybody had a chance to view the field today when the rain eased up, I cant imagine it will look too pretty. My rain gauge has not been emptied for a while but I can say we have had 110mm rain sin...

Oops, missed the birthday wishes on the day, but here's belated cheers for your birthday. Hope you had a good day.

Am in Dubbo for 4 days, so I cant be volunteered for anything, sorry. Would have been the bad example if required, dont need to act

Sorry guys, alarm got changed over holidays & unable to gain entry. Oh well always next month. :)

Thanks for the offer Russ but when they come up with a Good Look'n Stick I might think about it to match my handsome good looks :D .

My partners sons wedding tomorrow, I will be knee deep in the proverbial if I attend the field. Have a good day flying guys, hope to see you Sunday.

I have heard nothing but praise about Seagull Models & expected a smooth run to completion. Bom Bom, looks like I am an exception to that rule. Following the instructions which are minimal, I started...

We now have another Bronze Wing flier amongst us. I had suggested to Chris McCarthy that he was at a level where he could get tested for his Bronze but he was not sure of his ability and was too ner...

Hi Kev & welcome to our forum. I noticed on your other thread, that you have (for this hobby) tight budget restrictions. The start up costs can eat quite heavily into the budget, namely a reputable tr...

Not rubbish cleared by us from the field, just the handiwork of of some (insert as many expletives you can think of) who think it is a cheaper place to tip rubbish than where it should go. Has been th...
