Just arrived at the field and the weathers predict
Theres no one here

---

The strip is in fine condition much better than yesterday and it will only get better with this sunshine

[Flying fisho]

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 improving my confidence & flying skills, E-flite magic. Hopefully Willy will be kind this week & allow us to have our field back & not just for bellylanders

[wingtipper]

I HAVE THIS WEEK OFF , is anyone flying at prcac this week ? and how is the strip ?

[smuzz]

It ain't good Frank - I met up with Russ and FrankR this afternoon at McCoy and there's way too much water lying about. As usual there is standing water inches deep in parts, all the way from the taxiway west and the only part of the runway you can walk on is the eastern end. If you've got small bellylanders, then you should probably be alright making an angled approach from the eastern end, but that would be the extent of it. There's also water lying in pools in the carpark area, driving in would be a risky undertaking.
Sorry mate, it's no happy ending in sight yet.

[wingtipper]

hey thanks for the update STEVE. well i guess building might be on hand again

[smuzz]

Is the usual mid-week mob intending on a morning session tomorrow?
I don't think the runway will be in very good condition, but I've got to catch up with srl some time.

[Claudius]

Hey Steve, I'm planning on getting there 10-ish.

[smuzz]

Cheers Claudio - I'll see you there ... perhaps as early as 10:00am, you never know
Don't like our chances of driving in mate, but we'll see what it looks like when we get there.

[secant0give]

Hope tio see you there at some stage today probably about 11.30 ish ??

Should be a big improvement in conditions I'd think....hope

[Claudius]

Planning to hit the field tomorrow morning - did the r$#n perpetually forecast since Saturday ever actually arrive?

If the sun/wind has held, field should be markedly improved from what we had on the weekend.

[smuzz]

... did the r$#n perpetually forecast since Saturday ever actually arrive?

In fact Claudio, it gives me great pleasure to say that it did not! Jeez, it kinda felt odd and unusual saying that, but I hope to get used to it!

If the sun/wind has held, field should be markedly improved from what we had on the weekend.

It should be yes - I haven't had time to check it out to be sure though (it's the first week of the spring semester so things have been busy).
I'd recommend an early start if I were you, since the wind has been coming up in strength mid-morning lately.

[Claudius]

Thanks for the update Steve!

[smuzz]

It's very frustrating here at the moment - I'm immobile after a less-than-enjoyable trip to Westmead yesterday, and the conditions outside are absolutely perfect, not a breath of wind in a clear blue sky ... very annoying, since Willy says the run of r**n free days comes to an end on Saturday

I hear you, I hope the westmead trip was not something serious!!
I work and work all week. no time off for flying.... watching this great day outside from my freezing glass office window......then the wind and rain hit us on the weekends.. why is that

[Kedumba]

Heading home from sunny & warm Hong Kong tomorrow. Have a few days off before I head back to work. I need some stick time as I've not flown for a bit. Heard the weather has been a bit squirrely back home. Has it settled any? For those that care, Hong Kong has had its warmest days in years. the other day it almost hit 40! Been pretty comfortable last couple of days in the low 30's, still it will be great to get back home.

G'day Mick the weather's nice for flying here today!!

[wingtipper]

[Servo]

Willy is saying conditions should be good for this Wednesday - I expect to be at McCoy around 9am.

[gbanger]

Welcome home Kev!
We missed you.... and Steve is happy your back.

[Servo]

Thanks Gaz, nice to be back.

[Flying fisho]

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

[Too Drunk to Fly]

Heading down to maiden my depron extra.

[Too Drunk to Fly]

It flies

[Kedumba]

It flies

Thats a fantastic maiden flight report .

[Too Drunk to Fly]

crashes too, minor nose damage(motor and mount came off), nothing that can't be fixed. If I had installed landing gear it would have been saved. Wings had too much flex so I'll have to fix that too. Bit worried it will become too heavy for indoor flying. Oh well....

[helijeli]

I've got the day off today so I'll be heading down to the field for a couple of hours this morning. After I drop the boy off at school should be down there around 9:45 with a Heli and a plane or 2.

[BenR]

Is anyone who is a instructor/able to buddy box free on Wednesday? I have the day off and wouldnt mind some flight time if possible.

[gbanger]

Sorry Ben, Unfortunatley I am rarely if ever available during the week.
Super Steve may be able to help, but you will have to wait for his reply, Everbody else has real jobs!
Then again John H is a loose canon... watch this space!
Hello John..... John.... John.... are you there John?

[samste]

I'm working Wednesday, but may be able to spare an hour after my first Job to help out if the job go's to Plan, will post.

But Garys Right Super Steve (SRL) Could Possibly help you Out as he is there normally on Wednesday.
