Have you decided on a venue & time for the AGM. I might bring some more donation planes.

Hi Steve, Thanks for your reply & BBQ invite. As long as the BBQ is not too late in the day as I don't like playing dodgems with the kangaroos at dusk on the way back to Nowra. Will be good to se...

Hi Guys,  Has been a very long time since I posted on here. In 2015, after multiple heart attacks & triple heart by-pass surgery, my short term memory suffered and I lost my job, being virtually force...

I have your phone number, will call you when I am there. I will be going tomorrow as Sunday has a higher chance of a larger rainfall. robbo Wrote: (29-04-2016, 06:55 PM) -- Hey Wayne, Im down with...

Anybody going to the airshow this weekend. Would be nice to catch up with a few guys. http://www.wingsoverillawarra.com.au/

Thanks Chris, life is good, get my forehead stitches out tomorrow. Don't know how I found time to work before. Please be sure to drop in when you venture to God's country & your welcome to bunk in ov...

Finally got myself a hangar or should I say a hanger Now I can walk into the 4th bedroom without stepping over planes to select the planes for the day's flying. Planes are hanging by the wheels hook...

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 .

Shame on you Chris, thought you would have come up with an Old Timer in that dig. Maybe an Ugly Old Timer Stick. Pick up your game, you are slipping.

Looking for a replacement for my 2800mm edge 540 that did not survive a landing at SMFC too well. All similar planes I have found are $500 +. Hobbyking have a 1870 mm Yak 54 ARF electric for $373. Any...

I just found out our garage fills with a few inches of water in heavy rain, if you guys copped what we just copped, Lake McCoy will be overflowing. SMFC wont be flooded, but continuing rain for the ne...

Greetings from Nowra, wishing all a merry Xmas. Been to Bunnings 3 times a day since arrival but settling in nicely. Still can't find plane batteries so have only enjoyed SMFC's hospitality so far. Lo...

I am here at the field. Where is everybody!!!!

Thanx Chris Mc for the mowing help, with it being so ****ing hot, I would not have coped without you. A much improved mowed area of field ready for the weekend's flying.

Thanks buddy, deja vous

I intend mowing about 8.00 to beat the heat. A willing assistant will be appreciated. My last mow before handing over the club mower for Jason V (pres) to store.

Hi guys, some good news for a change. Low chance of rain tomorrow, gentle winds & freshly mowed strip. I may be a little later than normal but sometime between 8.30 & 9.00.

Looking at my rain gauge from a distance (no point in getting wet from the rain) and I see at least 20mm of rainfall with more to come. Tomorrow's forecast is for more showers so I am giving tomorrow ...

In the news there reports of a severe bushfire warnings this summer due to "The Bureau of Meteorology officially declares a major El Nino event, which is likely to lead to prolonged drier, hotter cond...

Dropped in at the field about 2ish & the news is not good. I had intended mowing this afternoon (even after 10 stitches below my left knee & associated pain) but the field is soggy with surface wate...

Sorry guys, preparing our house for sale is my priority today so I won't be flying. The weather looks good for flying though, clear skies & light winds present themselves to add to enjoyment this morn...

Just had a look at the forecast for tomorrow & is not looking good rainwise. I will reserve decision for flying in the morning.

Sorry guys, golfing tomorrow. If you are opening tomorrow, please post your intentions.

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...

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

Sorry guys, forgot to post last night. I will accept a suitable reprimand at the field this morning. But please be careful the reprimand may bounce with vigour (Never call the pot black). I will be t...

My memory strikes again, I said I would be flying again tomorrow but my other memory (Margaret) reminded me of golf tomorrow. See you guys next week. Was nice to meet you Luke and I trust you felt wel...

Sorry for late notice guys, been to the Aeromodellers meeting. I will be opening 8.30ish as usual.

Cheers, see you there. I will do my level best to get you into the air.

Don't give yourself too high an expectation of skill level. You will have one of our instructors to assist with flying if you feel you need it and all we ask is for you to fly within our boundaries sa...

Hi Luke, without naming names there are a few "clicky" clubs out there that don't welcome newcomers. Some because they have capped their membership numbers & some are simply snobs. Many have dubbed ...

Only myself, Chris McCarthy & a couple of newbies turned up today before I left 11ish, one of the poorest fine weather turnouts I can remember. I have a tradie at my place tomorrow so no flying for m...

Copy/paste laziness. Hi guys, I will be at the field 8.30ish tomorrow to set up. I will only be there for a couple of hours, so anybody who needs my assistance tomorrow, please also be there early as...

My rain gauge looks empty so I won't take an early visit to the field. Clouds clearing & rain radar shows coastal rain. See you guys at the field 8.30ish

Field has dried out a bit since Kieran posted. If we get no overnight rain I will be opening 8.30ish. If we get rain overnight I will do an early visit & post flying situation. Watch this space in the...

The skies are blue & my weather gauge tree is motionless. Heading to the field after brekkie for a few flights. Rain radar shows rain coming from the north, so I imagine it will be a short flying day....

Took a trip to the field without any planes to see a couple of newbies waiting at the gate. Walking in & in-between sprinkles of rain they took an EPP profile Extra & a Bixler into the air. The runway...

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.

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...

Was nice to meet you Dirk & welcome to our forum. I am not the most Techo guy in the club but I am sure some of us will be able to help get your kite into the air so please feel free to bring it to t...

I will see the early birds at 8.30 tomorrow. Looks like another cracker of a day for flying.

60% chance of 1-5mm showers tomorrow morning with very light winds. Probably still ok to fly but my boys are shouting me to golf in the morning, so I will leave it up to others to open up in the morni...

Had a look at the field this afternoon & is looking good for a fly tomorrow pending any overnight rain of which there is a low percentage chance. Even though TV weather report stated 20mm rain fell, o...

A bit windier tomorrow but still gentle & under 15km & no rain. I will open about 8.30ish unless beaten to it by our early birds.

After Monday's deluge of 38mm rain in my gauge I had expected the worst at our field. Jason & I attended the field today & he again has had to repair the front gate. Whilst there we inspected the fiel...

Have been to the field for a looksee & have completed the previously mentioned tasks. No pooling of the strip at this stage but my walk in was under an umbrella. Our normal parking area had some pooli...
