Ok I am on holidays as from Friday last, I was hoping to get some time spent at the field over the next 2 weeks. I know that our flight times are Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. My question is, can w...

Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy new Year. May your flights be long and your landings safe.

A BIG thank you to Wayne, not well, with no planes in tow, but still came to the field to help out us non soloists, well done mate, you are what Clubs are all about.

How about a Novice Race. Beginner Pilots who have passed for Solo but not as yet attained their Bronze Wings. It would have to be plane appropriate, but it seems quite a few novices have Trojans.....

Okay guys this might sound like a really stupid question, however, I want to buy a Car Battery to charge my lipos at the field. Is there anything special I need to know as in obviously 12volt, but Am...

Thanks guys, much appreciated for the feedback. I guess nothing is as easy as walking into KMart and grabbing any old Battery. Seems like Deep Cycle is the way to go. I apologise "Disoriented" I do ...

Once again Thanks to everyone for the info. And again it shows why we joined Clubs.

The cage looks great. But I am at a loss to understand why the "strange animal" in Pic 2 was realeased. Was it a Commitee decision or was advice sought from David Attenbrough!!!

Okay guys, time to pick your brains. I recently bought a Hk 1600mm Spitfire from Rob. Everything is fine with it except the Retracts are in opposite directions i.e. one up one down. I got them bo...

Thanks Steve and Gary. Craig called me today with the same answer. He has a spare servo reversor which he will bring to the field when we cann fly again, but I appreciate the offer. Very much ap...

Looks like it might be an R & R weekend (Rest & Repair) due to the weather.

It's a shame to see local businesses closing because of On Line Stores, but unfortunately that seems to be happening more and more. Having been self employed for 30 odd years I would have to say that...

Anybody aware that this is on this weekend, 26th - 27th July? They are also having a Boot Sale. I'll be there Saturday.

I think were gunna need a bigger float!!!!!!!!! Popped into the field this arvo......here's the result.

At the end of the day it's just another Bixler. HK's way of saying "spend more money with us".

It was a great day indeed. Great weather for flying at a Great Club. The banter between members, various insults, put downs and willingness to advise on anything flying wise show the closeness and cam...

I am curious to see how Lake McCoy is holding up. Have we ever considered adding boats to our repertoire?

Some of you might recall I bought a Spitfire from Rob. My mate David has a Club member in Canberra who loves painting planes. Here is the result of the Spitty from start to finish.

While we suffer in soggy fields, power lines, dirt bikes etc I thought I'd share this pic of another field. Some of you know my mate David, from Canberra. Thought I would share this pic of their fie...

My wife bought me a half hour flight in a Tiger Moth which I did last weekend. Had hands on flying for about 20-25 mins, such a beautiful bird to fly. I highly recommend this Company. Here are a few p...

HMAS - Vineyard is having it's fly in on the long weekend, 4th & 5th October. As the Club was well represented last year I was wondering if we will be attending this event, as a Club?

I suggest that our President give Bob a call to see about our participation.

Hi all, some may recall I lost my 1400mm Spitfire in the reeds the other weekend. Tried to have a look but reeds were too thick. If anyone with FPV is heading to the field on Sunday (19th Oct) I woul...

Thanks mate. I like the sound of Option 3 using Ply, think would give the backing plate a solid base to adhere to.
