Not looking good for tomorrow, 8am wind forecast is a gusty 23kph increasing as the day progresses. We saw about 4 planes bite the dust last weekend with slight winds. Although it is good to get used...

The weather gods are shining on us for tomorrow. No rain & low single digits kph winds. I intend opening up 8-8.30am as usual. Looking forward to seeing you all there tomorrow. Dont forget AGM 11am. ...

Sorry guys I wont be able to do my usual early morning open & field setup. Wont get there until about 10am, got a HK parcel to pick up from the post office & some new lenses for my glasses.

Forecast for wind today has changed. Winds increasing to over 20kph expected after 10am. Best to get in for early flights today

I will be at the field again tomorrow 8 - 8.30 as per usual to set up field for another great day's flying. Willy says negligible winds in the morning increasing to 10 - 15 kph in the arvo. See you al...

Has been a while but Willy has presented us with a ZERO % chance of rain & sub 10kph winds all day tomorrow & mostly under 15kph on Sunday. What a cracker weekend for flying :D :D . I will be at the f...

There was a light shower when I was packing the car. Waited till passed. Leaving shortly

Weighs in at 5.3kg but even though has a 1.66m wingspan the actual wings are pretty much the same size as the 1.55m 2.8kg MX2 (bug chunky fuse). Needs a long approach without trees that swallow planes...

Hi guys & thanks Chris for the field update, I must admit I was a but worried about being able to fly at McCoy this weekend after Tuesdays rain on an already damp field. I should be at the field abo...

As per Samste's post the field is not in a flyable condition and I believe should be avoided until it is more solid underfoot for the sake preventing field & plane damage. I wont be flying this weeken...

The wind looks reasonable today & is certainly calm at the moment........ but rain?..... hmmmmm. Weather radar shows rain off the coast but moving in. Everything looks wet outside so I presume overnig...

Thanks for the mowing efforts Chris, Ron & Pete, very much appreciated. Although the weather doesn't look too promising tomorrow, I am hoping the rain holds off long enough to reap the benefits of ou...

Flying today was a test of nerves, winds were mostly across the strip and 20 - 30kph. A few brave souls took to the air & were buffetted by turbulence around the trees and landings were anything but g...

Not the most ideal of conditions today guys. According to Willy, wind is currently WSW 13kph with a gradual increse to over 30kph by midday. At least no rain. Braving the wind I should be at the fie...

Hope you guys had a good day flying today. Marg & I walked to The Gap from Watsons Bay wharf but I held on tight to the rails to avoid a different flight to what I enjoy.

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...

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 ...

Being an addicted flier I will be there tomorrow as usual. I will open the gates at my normal time of between 8.00 & 8.30 and will set up the pilot box, cones & wind sock as usual (unless somebody bea...

I will be there at my usual time 8 - 8.30 to open the field & set up the strip for flying. Looking forward to seeing all the guys again. New guys seem to also be keen to stop by, dont be shy to pull ...

I'm looking at my wind gauge tree with despair, its branches are swaying with gusto in the air, The clouds in the sky, provide rain that is falling, so flying conditions for today are really appal...

Sorry for the late notice, but is better than no notice at all. I will be opening the gates & setting up the field for flying between 8.00 & 8.30 tomorrow.

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

Am happy to do the honours of donating 200mm white iron-on film. Will be at the field for a few hours tomorrow.

I will be at the field to open up between 8.00 & 8.30 to set up cones & pilot box. Hopefully I wont be alone for long. Morning winds are looking favourable with a low 10% chance of showers. Strip fres...

Haven't seen anybody posting about flying this morning yet, so I suppose it's me again. I should be there about 8.15 -8.30 for those interested in joining me. Cheers guys

Thanks Chris, the efforts are appreciated.

Am super keen to get my new MX2 into the air tomorrow for it's maiden (and nervous at the same time) and Willy has promised light winds with a minimal chance of afternoon showers. Intend opening up & ...

I have a Spektrum DX8 and I fly on Phoenix without any modifications

I believe Hobbies in the Hills sells Phoenix without transmitter @ $129. Cheapest I have seen anywhere. I use this program on a regular basis and will continue to sharpen my skills with it. The advant...

Slept in this morning but looking out the window, the wind gauge tree has a gentle sway but forecast to step up a bit. Isolated showers also forecast. None the less, I will be heading to the field for...

Good man, will head down shortly after 8 to set up. Writing a note on the back of my hand " 2 wings require 2 screws" :LOL:

Anybody heading down to the field this morning, Willy is predicting showers so don't want to fly alone if everyone deterred by forecast

I intend being at the field shortly after 8 this morning for a few flights. Having lunch with friends so will also be leaving early.

Had the day off from flying today & went cliff climbing & then rock fishing for blackfish with Samste. Looks like no flying for me tomorrow either, Margarets Mum has broken her hip in a fall & I will ...

Will join you & help set up field

Precisely the reason I keep harping on about the importance of posting what time the gates will be opened. Not all of our regulars are able to open them & I for one do not like being at the field alon...

Willy is looking kindly upon us tomorrow & thanks to the mowing brigade, should be a cracker day for flying. Being an early riser I will be there early (8am ish)as usual & set up the field for flyin...

I too am finishing off a plane, ETA 9.00 ish

So far willy is providing reasonable weather for tomorrow, so I should be at the field 8.00 - 8.30. Will give an update early in the morning

Outside my window, the wind gauge I see, branches swaying freely up in the tree. Willy says a high chance of thundery rain, so today there'll be no flying again for Wayne. My new E-flite Pulse, is...

I am happy to turn up & set up the field for flying, but if nobody else is turning up, I may just give it a miss.[hr] Is starting to shower now, so will be giving flying today a definite miss & with s...

Anybody flying this morning?

Tis the reason I posted notification of their presence and the importance of this thread. I believe it is a must to view before venturing to the field & what I believe is a must to be posting on when ...

Have just been to our field & at our entry there is a cherry picker truck blocking our entry. They are putting wiring up poles & have declared the area a construction zone & declining vehicle entry. T...

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...

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