I flew Monday on a sickie but after a number of attempts, I yielded to the Magpie whom sat on my Apprentice and rode it into the strip. And then proceeded to disable the vertical tail before strutting off as if to say " So There".
Still managed approximately 30 to 40 minutes in the air. Conditions were almost perfect

Looking to be a challenging weekend of flying with the wind expected to be around 15-20 KPH/7-10 Knots. from the southwest, swinging around from the north later.
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.

I will be test flying my Texan at Pit Town on Saturday afternoon hopefully.

Hope the weather is nice !!

Shame I wont be there tomorrow either due to house inspection. But looking at the weather report, maybe a bit windy for my liking as well. But that's ok, got a couple of planes to build.

I also thought it was going to be a bit windy, so didn't charge any batteries, but I can now see that its a perfect day outside.
Ah well, everyone that's gone down to the field... enjoy!

Would have been a good day today I'm assuming?

Yes, watching the trees here in Cherrybrook - definitely too windy for reasonable flying enjoyment.
Haven't been down to the field in weeks, for various reasons, weather included (mainly wind).
Just looked at the forecast for the week - pretty much the same every day - 25 to 30 km/hr wind.

I will wait and see what Saturday serves up before I venture down to the field, at this stage it's supposed to rain from 2am for most of the day. Sunday is looking good.

I'm going to see if I can have a leave pass for Sunday morning. I haven't been down in weeks and hanging to get back there.

I woke up early and the wind was just way to strong to even worry about packing my planes. Hope it goes away and we can have some good flying weather.
