Judging from Bob's & my field condition posts, I would say tomorrow is another build day. I will take an early morning trip to the field to further report on strip condition & post about 7.30am for al...

Got some good flying weather yesterday with quite a few members enjoying the light winds for getting their planes into the air. Not as much weather luck today, my new rain gauge says we had 20mm rain ...

Forecast is for a wet weekend. Hopefully the rain wont turn up til afternoon tomorrow. Will reserve my decision to fly tomorrow morning. Watch this space

Delayed leaving for driving range because of fog (fog interferes with signal & ball might not receive directional input). May be a bit later than 9 at field

Calm winds & clear skies are ready to greet us for flying tomorrow. I am golfing on Sunday and I am heading off to the driving range first thing tomorrow but should be opening 8.30 - 9.00. See you all...

I trust all fliers had a good day today in what was described as moderate winds. Judging by my aching legs, arms back & stomach muscles, I would have been better off at the field. I am getting too old...

The field has been freshly mowed on Thursday and has dried out considerably. With all of the runway quite firm and no rain forecasted it is ready for the weekends flying. Tomorrow has the strongest wi...

You should have been there a bit earlier, the Loch Kev monster was wading :shock:

Samste, when you try to remember how to fly again, please try to remember stick down to climb :D

I was considering buying a large water container to water our newly planted trees. I think I can delay that, I envisage they will be saturated lakeside trees at the moment. I think our field will be...

Weather forecast has morning showers, but little wind. Will review weather in the morning & make a decision to open or not. Watch this space for an early morning post.

I will be opening up about 8.30 again in the morning. Don't forget that nomination forms are due for this year's committee by tomorrow.

I waited until this morning in the hope that willy would change his mind & be a bit kinder. Alas not true & we are in for some unfriendly winds by mid to late morning. My wind gauge tree is already wa...

Thanks to all those who turned up today for the bushcare, many trees were planted which will provide shade where needed in the future. I should be at the field 8.30ish tomorrow to prepare the field f...

I am really looking forward to tomorrow, the August winds may have come a bit early this year (again) but the morning is looking quite flyable. We do have a bushcare day planned & by having as many ...

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 ...

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.

I attended the field today and although was windy, did not appear to meet the forecast's intensity and saw speedie's plane in the air. Several guys had quad & milti rotor copters in the air. I had my ...

I will be at the field tomorrow with the membership renewal form for paid members to sign. I will take a plane or 2 to fly but if Willy is at all accurate, I wont be there too long (winds 25kph will m...

I will probably be at the field 8.30 - 9.00 to open today. Dew and fresh grass clippings made a mess of the planes early yesterday, so no need to open too early.

The news is almost all good, have just come from the field after a brief light shower of rain. Apart from the usual pooling at the Grace end of the strip, the runway is nice & firm and closely mowed (...

Today had 100% chance of 15 - 25mm of rain which has not (yet) eventuated. Parramatta received 7mm rain according to the news. 55% chance of 1-5 mm showers are again forecast for tomorrow. Worth a cha...

Thanks for that John, we only have 50ish members yet we consistantly get over 400 views of this thread from Friday night to Saturday morning. That equates to a minimum of 350 people without the entry ...

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...

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 ...

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.

Am at the field & news is not good. We must have had more rain overnight which has flooded more of the field. Strip is greatly narrowed & shortened. Still flyable as long as you stick to the dry areas...

Just charged some batteries & heading down to the field about 8.30ish. Wind is forecast to pick up tio 25 k's later this morning, but that is gusts & is still manageable

Good on you John, at least someone enjoyed the freshly mowed strip. Playing Russian Roulette with the wind & rain is not my idea of fun. Am watching the wind guage tree out my lounge room window & it ...

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

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...

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...

Am going to hit a bucket of balls at the driving range this morning. Hope to be at the field 8.30 - 9.00 am to open up. No rain forecast but moderate to strong winds. Forecast 25km wind from 9.00 peak...

Am at the field & although strip firm despite earlier showers. is starting to sprinkle, heavier showers on radar heading our way.

Looks dismal outside, but I am braving the possible showers & heading to the field about 8.30

The forecast is for scattered showers, but sounds like coastal. I will be there 8.30ish unless showers are more imposing upon our field. Watch this space 7.30 - 8.00am for a further report.

I will be opening about 8.30 again tomorrow for a few hours flight.

Thanks Chris, these posts are often unnecessary but are appreciated on occasions. I remember many occasions only too well, sitting in my car at the gate for what seemed an eternity, waiting for somebo...

Another great day for flying. I am not flying tomorrow so it would be appreciated if somebody else will post on here when the gates will be open for visitors & new members without gate codes.

Today was a cracker of a day to brush the cobwebs of the planes. The usable part of the strip was somewhat narrowed and shortened with the surface gradually firming up after a month's worth of regular...

Looks like a good day for flying, from PeterH's report the strip may be a bit restricted but continuing good weather will maybe allow for extending mowing. I should be there to open up 8.30ish unles...

I normally post daily on a weekend but I thought yesterday's post would have said it all. I was heading out to Penrith for my birthday dinner about 5.15 and passed throught some heavy rain which I tho...

I fly for pleasure, flying on a saturated field in winds increasing from over 20kph by 9.00am & dodging showers does not fall into my pleasure category. Looks like a sim & build day for me.

Build em crash 'em Wrote: (09-04-2014, 08:47 PM) -- Hi Wayne and all the rest !... lol My apologies for not being around for a while... Have been budy with an ensuite reno. Been missing all of you ...

Looks like only a minimal chance of flying today. My field condition post yesterday reported an already soft runway & was followed by an hour or more of rain that would not heve been able to be absorb...

I have opened the field for fliers

Much of the surface water has disappeared but the ground is still soggy where it laid yesterday. Still best for belly landers. Forecast is for more showers today. Driving in is OK.

A few pitots dared the dampened field today, but landings were very trecherous in avoiding the foot squelching areas of the strip. I went to the field to give a heads up to those who had not read my e...

Sorry guys but the news is not good. Strip is largely unusable with surface water on most of it. Would suggest walk in only with belly landers or hovercraft and lots of cleaning rags.

Not sure what to say about tomorrow, given the storm we had this afternoon & the already soggy condition of our field. More showers are predicted for tomorrow. I think I will make an early recognisanc...
