HI Andrew

A few of us were flying last Saturday. I was ready to walk in but Pete had unlocked and open the gate.
The drive in was Ok but only just. Pete had marked off the bad mud areas.
Half the strip has been cut but no good yet for aircraft wheels so hand launch only for planes.
Boots and jeans are advised to be worn.

More rain this week.

Just had a look at the Parramatta council web site. Mccoy park is still closed so walk in only for us this weekend.

First time we have been able to drive into Mccoy field for a while and my PA Ultimate is back flying since the lockdowns and rain. with 7 batteries its always good to remind myself how good these planes fly.

Hello All,

With the improving weather, I thought I would send out a brief Club update.

The mostly dry weather has allowed the field to dry out and this along with the many complaints from dog walkers, has compelled the council to resume the mowing. Hooray!

The Council boys are making good progress with limited equipment and they have given the Club the expectation that it should be back to the way it was prior to Covid and the rains.
But as always a special call out to Peter for his tireless efforts over the winter and spring and rains to keep us flying at all.

It is great to be able to drive in again and I encourage everyone to dust off their planes and come down to enjoy the great flying conditions and catch up with fellow flyers.

We have had many new member inquiries recently which is great to see, so get the word out that the club is open.

Anyway, get your planes out and get down the field, see you soon.

Cheers,

Andrew
President

To members and friends of Parramatta Radio Control Flying Club.

Our AGM and BBQ is this Saturday 15th July from 11am. With the weather forecast being partly cloudy and light winds again we are expecting a good morning attendance like previous weeks.

We have had a few new members join this year and we continue to get regular enquiries. Liam who has recently joined is using the new low cost Radio Master / Matek ELRS radio which is proven to be reliable at Mccoy field . Feel free to ask about the LOS issues after the AGM.

Hope to see you there.
Stephen Lange and the committee.

Pete is mowing the strip today, yes the grass is growing again.
We encourage members to be down with him particularly during the warmer weather.

With their permission you can fly at the opposite end of the field while someone is mowing, keeping 30 metres from them.
If council is mowing on our side of the park then there is no flying from the main strip at all.

Thanks

Hello Club Members, we are 2 weeks out from our Bush Care morning with Parra Council on the 4th May. We will be starting from 8 and going till 11am. Our main objective is to poison as many Corals trees as possible. We will be instructed by Council on the day and gloves and tools will be provided. I am hoping for a big turnout, if you can't get there at 8 even an hour would be much appreciated. It is really beneficial for the club when we drive these activities. We will also have a BBQ afterwards.

Please message me on WhatsApp if you are available to attend and what time you will be down.
