Saturday forecast on Weatherzone is for heavy rain and 30+km/h winds. Looks like another crappy weekend. Bring on spring & summer.

I won't be there today but will be there tomorrow. Today is the weather man's pick though.

Can I book a "charter flight" for the cat next door? Only one way.

Looked on the weather channel. Sunny symbol for tomorrow but became rather depressed with the rain symbol showing every day for the next month :( .

Nice Gazz. Very nice.. Do you think it is flyable at PRCAC? With the Kai Tak style landing approaches at the Toonie strip, do you think it could be a handful?

Quite often a club member will volunteer to do this. Check out the "field condition" and the "flying this weekend" for the needed reports.

Off thread (sorry). PEMAC got trashed I read elsewhere... http://www.archeli.com.au/forums/showthread.php?p=1419320#post1419320

I want to see the Deuce maiden so I am keen to go PEMAC next weekend as a "visitor". This weekend will be mCPx time. At least it won't put the family pets in the vet in the case of any mishap! Would h...

Now you know why the battery order went in on HK. 6 X $4.99 for 1S 0.3A 35C Nanotechs!! :)

I have read numerous reports of recent Castle HVs (last 6 months) burning for no reason. Very popular with heli fliers all over. I was going for the 120HV for the Logo 600 but went Kontronic due to nu...

No limit.

I'm out today anyway (kids' sport). Will check conditions tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Cool. That Trojan made the others seem like they were 1/72 scale (Airfix lingo).

I would join you Andrew but I think I have the worst excuse ever... I left the sim-tx cable in my notebook bag (sshh!) which is at the office. I have my TX and Phoenix here ready to go but I missing 3...

Yes, not a good day for Strykers with Steve B putting his in to the sharp edge of the power-line staunchon at high speed. Ouch! I think the motor is still bouncing down the road (somewhere).

Holy crap that's big. When you open that photo separately in the web browser and zoom in, you get the true size of that beast.

Rob, the only reason you weren't there in the search party was that your shoes were too pretty! Yes, quite an effort. What ticked us all off was that we couldn't find that darn nose cone.

Well done Steve/Owen. So when are you planning on getting that Spitty airborne?

I think it means "oops, crap ... anywhere there is fine to land".

We need to do it like this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9DCwwfClzw

A good decision to delay the maiden. Shoot, that is one very nice plane.

Hmmm .... The motor is rated to 30A and you are flying at 78A peaks. Yeah baby!!

Slightly off thread here as this video is "3D" however the location is unusual !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ho_j1JbGnk8&feature=player_embedded#at=256

Now that's a plane. Bourbon and Paypal... an excellent combination to dent the credit card. Where would you fly this beast?

No maiden. Darren's advice.

The prop appears fine. It seems like the spinner only isn't perfectly aligned. I doubt that will cause any adverse vibrations.

Planning on being there too. Edit: ...and Sunday.

Looks the goods Gazz. What are you putting inside?

Sat morning out for me. Not sure about the arvo but definitely thinking Sunday is the day.

Sorry. Double post (curse IE9 !) And now for the jokes at my expense... :tounge:

Nice job !

i will likely be joining you Andrew. See you Sunday. Edit: Going to try PEMAC instead.
