I plan to be there tomorrow morning.
Passed by the field Friday Lunch time, field looked ok, usual wet spots at far side of the strip. today's wind and dry weather should have dried it out a bit more. Hopefully less wind by tomorrow.

I'll be there as well. Weather looks crap for next week, suggest get out while you can
It wouldn't kill me to miss flying for one day, but then again, why risk it.

I am hoping some of you saw the pics posted by Babar on our Facebook site. The entrance lane is under water so I am suggesting the field is the same, if not, very soggy.
Therefore there will be NO DRIVE INS this weekend, sorry guys but I suggest it's rest and repair time.

Babar's pictures are on his personal page. PRCAC has just commented on them.
It looks very poor condition. I may drive past this arvo and snap some live pictures and post in field condition post.

Hi Guys,
I walked in yesterday arvo with my cuz and munched 8 packs. The state of the field can be seen in the below footage from one of my flights.

Looks like a weekend for water craft, SToLs, Helis and quads with the amount of water around.
Anyone got a hovercraft to fang around??? lol

Gravity sucks, or should I say, is the downfall of all things flying. It's the way it's controlled that makes the end memorable or not.

Thanks for the survey flight Jason... dont think the water stopped your fun!! I might give a miss this weekend, I'm just as likely to drop it in one of the many puddles and bye bye quad.

In the first 30 seconds you can tell the field is very much under water still.
I'm going to giving this weekend a miss also. Shame because I've repaired the KMX and want to get that thing back in the air. Oh well always other weekends.

I was jut down at the field
Its very flyable just a bit too wet to drive in
If you go down park up the top and close the front gate behind you
Carry your models down and enjoy its a great day for it!!

With rain predicted from Wednesday till Sunday, members might not be aware but PEMAC (Penrith Club) is holding a Buy/Sell on Sunday 4th September.
Address is Russell St, Emu Heights NSW 2750.
I plan on going looking for a bargain as well as selling (no doubt Mr Bargain Hunter (Babar) will be there

Was looking forward to some flying in this weekend, but the weather strikes again.

I don't think there will be any flying anywhere today with the wind like it is.

I would suggest no driving in again tomorrow, however, if someone could walk in first and check it would be appreciated.
I'm off to PEMAC for their Buy/Swap/Sell Day.

HI,guys. On Sunday the magpies were very busy modifying some of the planes. I cam across this YouTube video of a hawk attacking a plane makes our problems with the magpies not so bad.
