I had hoped somebody else would have posted tonight as I don't like being the bearer of bad news. Having spoken to Jason this afternoon & although as each hour passes, the field dries out a bit more,...

Have read posts about new planes to see ripping up the skies, but alas I will be at Culburra helping Margs mum move into a Nursing Home. Hope the weather gods get rid of their mishchevious smirks & al...

Bloody weather, rain clouds looking less ominous now, rain radar not showing much in the way of water dripping from the black fluffy things. Gunna take the punt, pack my stuff & head down to the field

The weather gauge tree is waving it's limbs, giving today's warning for any flying whims. At 6am it was 25 degrees and climbing, our comfort in flying will be surely declining. So for myself, I'll be ...

Car packed, off to get ice & heading to the field to open up

Plus a metre if bluemetal & a few bags of cement & it would be on the money

Am at the field in light sprinkle of rain which does not look like letting up. Plenty of usable strip, but half of strip soggy opposite pilot box. I choose not to fly, but the choice is yours. See you...

Sorry guys, I won't be there tomorrow to open up, helping a friend move house. So will be somebody elses turn, maybe the crack of 10 Smuzz ;) . If my back holds out, I will be there Sunday bright and ...

The field was a little soggy in the usual spots on Thursday when I mowed but otherwise there is ample landing room. With all the rain around, my rain gauge only received a mere 1mm of that liquid stuf...

Looking rather miserable outside (showers & windy) so giving today a miss.

See you there Gaz, Trojan repaired & ready for another onslaught of punishment on it's landing gear. Hopefully get used to landing it as softly as I do on Phoenix

Putting the last plane in car & heading for field now.

No worries, this weekend does not look promising anyway. No need to let me know if u not flying, just let me know the night before if you are.

Showers are forecasted for tomorrow. I am charging my batteries tonight in the hope that Willy has got it wrong again. At this stage I should be at the field by 8.30 as usual but is weaqther dependant...

Thank you John B & Peter Mc for turning up, signing & keeping me company for a while. Too windy to fly & I presume nobody else turning up, so am leaving. See you guys next week.

Yeeeeeehaaaaaaaa, took a look at the field this afternoon and the news is both excellent & reasonable. I am guessing PCC have contributed to the maintenance of our entry access by grading/levelling/ro...

Am hoping to be there at least on Saturday with my resurrected P47 Thunderbolt & Apprentice to see if I get a window in the weather for a few flights. At least the commercial pilots to & from Vanuatu ...

Gunna smack a few golf balls around the driving range first thing in the morning, but still hoping to open the gates 8.30ish & prepare the field for flying.

Did not open this morning, that post was last Sunday

Where I live, we have no grass & I therefore did not replace my worn out unstartable mower. Am happy to lend a labouring hand though. Will get there as early as possible.

Again Willy is painting a dire picture for flying weather this weekend. Not only is there a 90% chance of 5-10 mm of rain tomorrow, but 30km + winds from 10ish am with Sunday holding no lesser of a ch...

Is anybody daring the damp conditions for a fly this morning. Winds are calm & a shame to waste that rarity

Sorry I cant give you an affirmative to that question Frank, I am heading south to see Marg's mum for the day. The forecast is good for tomorrow, so I imagine we will have a reasonable roll up. Enjoy ...

Sorry Steve, was kind of you to offer, should have also expressed that it may have offered a little extra grip for the first car, but hardly worth the effort or cost.

Sorry guys, I wont be opening this morning. Typical of my recent holiday luck, I have the dreaded flu bug & sitting it out.

Took another trip to the field at 11.30 to test my PA Addiction after aileron hinge replacement & the addition of extra white striping on the underside to assist with orientation. Rob & Elton had been...

Weather forecast for tomorrow deteriorating with 80% chance of morning showers. If as predicted, I won't be flying but will review in the morning. Watch this space!!!!!!!!

Took a trip to the field this afternoon and it is drier than expected. The usual pooled areas but enough room to take off & land. The grass needs a mow but larger wheels will assist in operation. I i...

Wind forecast is good, greater chance of rain is for this afternoon. I will run the rain gauntlet & head off to the field when a few batteries charged

I should be at our field about 8.30ish. I am not able to buddy newbies & not sure when somebody will be there to assist in that regard. Feel free to notify if you can so our learners know when to turn...

Just had a look at the field and it has been freshly mowed but a bit restricted at the recently filled area opposite the pilot box. Otherwise the strip is firm to fly on This is despite nearly 30mm r...

Thanks guys, looks like I wsill be reaping the rewards of your efforts again.

Is currently spitting rain & as per my rain gauge we have had 10mm rain overnight. Rain radar shows more to come & consistent with forecast. Oh well, batteries onto storage charge for me.

At this stage looks like another build day again tomorrow. Wind is forecast to reach 28kph by 9am peaking at 41kph by 10am. Will review willyweather in the morning & post again

The thanks should go to our illustrious Secretary Kevin B and his negotiations with PCC. A special thanks also to PCC for so readily agreeing to the task & fulfilling their promise so promptly.

Sorry guys, this morning's driving range was practice for tomorrow's golf, so I won't be opening up in the morning. If you are planning to be at the field early to open up, please post on this thread ...

The wind this month has blown & blown, When the wind will stop, this is not known. Forecast for tomorrow is the high side of light, so charge up your batteries, get ready for flight. 8 -8.30 I wi...

Willy's forecast has not changed, which only proves his accuracy failure. How can it only be 90% chance of rain while it is has been raining for over an hour. Strip was only partially usable on Thursd...

Was at the field today & our field is still none too pretty. A couple of vehicles drove down to the strip before retreating up the slope to more solid ground up top. Visible tyre tracks indicate damag...

Sorry Rob, cant help you there. I will be going to Penrith early

Have not seen it take so long for the field to dry out but then again, have not seen so much water for such a prolonged period. Weather looks pretty good for tomorrow, light winds & minimal chance o...

Your not wrong there John, Willyweather is painting a grim picture. As per usual I will post early tomorrow using a combination of Willyweather and the more reliable view out my window. From these I w...

Not going to be the calmest of days but a good pilot can handle 25k winds. I might even dare to punch a few holes in the sky today. I intend opening 8.30ish, see all you keen daredevils there.

Morning guys, looks like another great day for flying. Minimal wind but heating up to 33 deg. I intend opening up shortly after 8 to prep the field for flying.

I dont really own any planes that I am comfortable landing on only half of the strip and am keen to get some Eratix flying in, so am off to PEMAC again today. Just hoping that the wind keeps at bay. A...

I am golfing on Sunday so I will not be attending Saturday practice day at Vineyard. For those who are interested in flying at McCoy tomorrow, I will be opening at approx. 8.30

Despite constant drizzle, only 4 mm fell in my rain gauge but is still sprinkling now. Hard to say how the strip is surviving, but the forecast is for a higher % of more rain tomorrow. I don't plan on...

Have to say sorry again today guys, wont be opening up or flying again today. Appears I forgot Margarets birthday. Am taking her to Watsons Bay for lunch, Doyles is one of her favourites. Have also be...

Thanks for the compliment Chris. Was not a problem, my days of needing an instructor are very fresh in my mind (still need them when maidening my bigger & more expensive planes) and I see it as an hon...
