Nosed my Trojan into muddy Penrith swamp & motor need a good clean (plus epoxy to fuse lol). Has been suggested to strip motor down & rinse out, then blow dry. Have motor out of plane, cant undo grub ...

Also Thanks for the Help Yesterday, Your Field bag is getting quite impressive with all the bits and pieces, Just missing that mini Drill lol.[/b] Steve Already have a 600w inverter, a small drill ...

Thanks for the advice fellas, can prfoceed with confidence now. I can see a few preferences for connectors, which reminds me of an old saying of mine, there is no such thing as good and bad (in most t...

It has been suggested to change all power plugs to the one type & bullet plugs seem to be the go. From the speedie, should the red go to the male or female pin. Hope I have explained the question und...

Thanks Jason, Some worthy suggestions , some on backorder, might order a few motors in stock, not all that expensive & can leave unused as spares for future or individual tryouts for performance. Wo...

Hi guys, purchased a mini angel glider at penrith club swap meet & have been searching internet for a suitable motor, speedie & folding prop to match. Plane not featured on many sites but specs found ...

Westmead it is, now looks like I had a mild heat attack. Sorry Pete but my mower will be having a rest for a while.

Gunna have to pull the pin on my morning visit to the field tomorrow, am in hospital with chest pain. ECG ok but here for a day or two under observation.

Rob & I mowed the field on Thursday ready for a fly this weekend but willy has played up again since. We were only able a shortened strip & reduced width because of soggy conditions. Rain followed & m...

Not a normal day for me to fly, but as I don't go back to work till 2nd Jan, I intend to make use of our mowing efforts today and open up tomorrow (Wednesday) at my usual 8.00 - 8.30. See you all the...

Thanx for the posting Andre, very useful to non entry code holders & those not wanting to fly alone. Let's hope others follow your kind initiative.

Just took a trip to McCoy Park Aquatic Centre and the news is not good. All of the runway is soggy again with the usual pools but somewhat enlarged. Looking towards Grace end of strip, closest pool ...

I intend to mow 8.00am tomorrow (weather permitting) and takes about 3 hours. Willing assistants with a mower are welcomed & will allow an earlier flying time

If the field has dried enough, I intend mowing Thursday morning and as per our by-laws, no flying whilst field maintenance in progress. So late morning or early arvo will be ok to fly.

Greetings fellow fliers, as well as weekends our official midweek flying day is Wednesday. This day is normally sparsely attended however we are coming up to the holiday season with more of our pilots...

Welcome Simon. My apologies for our non-response. To be honest not sure where to look for it but this forum is your best shot, although we do prefer the "introduce yourself here" thread. The majorit...

The rain certainly has not been on our side over the past few? months. The forecast this weekend is not looking too crash hot & the amount of rain last Sunday would have seen the return of pools on th...

Thanks for the post Chris, unfortunately my bug has taken a turn for the worse and I wont be flying. Can another CAFI/instructor post intentions of flying today, or what time the gates should be open.

Holy Weeping Willows Batman, no tears from me. The pest species soon to be gone. :) :) :) :)

With many thanks to Jason, my pulse is ready to race again. Can even fly the E-flite Pulse which equates to the same thing. See you there.

ditto

Sounds good, what time you intending to go

Hey someones gotta do it, and as I dont think he took the photo, seems you two work at the same office. Mind you, I spent some time at the same office today and must say the field looks great.

Welcome back Kev, sorry wont be able to catch up on weekend to hear about your trip, am off to Dubbo for a few days

Gary & myself ventured out to PEMAC for a morning's fly in perfect conditions. Thanks again for maidening & trimming the Eratix Gazz, flies like a charm and even made me look good. Can see that plane ...

Thanks buddy, tried to call you umpteen times today to tell you forecast & actual conditions at Penrith not the same as here & were ideal.

Thanks Kieran, is a problem now for those who cant afford both. Although PEMAC's previous associate membership & full membership has negligible $ difference.

Anybody flying tomorrow, that could either buddy cord or maiden the eratix for me at Penrith. Forecast looks ok

Perfect flying day at Pemac, unfortunately I was not game to maiden the Eratix & could not find a mode 1 taker, confident enough with that style of plane to do the job. So it's cherry remains intact. ...

Sorry for the bad news Arron, willy has had nasty habits of recent. Eratix ready to cut the sky, anybody else heading out to Pemac. Penrith has negligible% chance of rain & 7km winds, sounds like a go...

Hi guys, have been off crook all week but decided to take a walk onto the field this arvo for a look-see and am afraid the news is not too good :upset: :( . Driveway in was a bit slippery to walk on l...

Tomorrow's forecast is for 37 degrees, not really OH&S mowing weather. I am back at work now & dont get home til late & dont have a mower. I have been a member of the precision mowing team before, but...

Am presuming from field condition reports that Kelso is out of the question for the weekend. Have had one weekend flying my new T28 and am looking forward to another weekend of flying (thanks to Gaz I...

Many thanks Steve for the offer of a piece of Depron to replace the fuselage underside that flew off my Apprentice. Although it defied insurmountable odds by spin-falling & landing sticky side down on...

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.

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...

Looks like I will be delayed, just found out I cant have fasting blood test until 8.00. Then it is home, brekkie & meds before field visit. I will only stay for a few hours as I do not intend flying &...

The garden gnome is at the soggy field now under an umbrella. Do you need to guess what advices are forthcoming. Yes, Chris thought correct, walk in only with boots & belly landers. I will be there ...

OK then, I will do my usual early morning inspection & post shortly after 7 ish ( Weather permitting of course). I suspect you ared correct though JV

Has anyone had a chance to look at the field today?

I dropped into the field this arvo & have a mixed bag of news. Driveway & car parking area have dried out a bit & if careful to not drive on area already tyre rutted, I think should be able to drive i...

Has anybody seen the opening scene of a movie called Easy Rider. Piano wire would work but not worth the repercussions.

Looks like a fair bit of rain is going to stuff up our field today. If possible, can someone do a report this arvo. Pete, you mentioned bike wheel ruts, can u please expand on that comment.

Dropped in at the field today and was absolutely horrified at what I saw. I think this is the worst attack by the motorbike morons ever. Without much work to repair the multitudes of wheel ruts, anyth...

Took a walk in to the field today & met up with Pete & Ron testing out the remote control mower. Would have preferred being presented with better conditions than the mixed bag present. Good news: gra...
