Hi all.
I go a good weekend to be working then.
I'm currently waiting north of Melbourne to go on the Spirit of Tasmania. No parking in Port Melbourne.
3 to 4 metre seas and 2 hours late. It will be a interesting night. I've already eaten so hopefully it will stay down.
Light winds for the Wednesday flying group and indoor that night.

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.

Hello All, considering that ANZAC Day falls on a Wednesday this year, out of respect to past and present serving members of Australia's Military, I suggest that there should be no flying on Wednesday until after 12pm Midday, if you intend on going down there that is.

I dropped by about 1:45 on my way home, gate was shut so I kept on going.

I seemed to have missed you yesterday also, munched a bunch of packs from about 11-2 with Stephen though. Good fun, go crashes. Thumbup

Best flying weather I have seen in years today. I got 27-minutes and 47-seconds on a single charge (resting 3.8v) out of my little flying wing. Pete gave some great flying instruction to one of our newest and youngest members. Absolutely sensational day!

Where were you Dirk? Did I come too late, or did you just do a no show.

Todd, missed you too mate. Catch ya next weekend.

I’d be happy to join you for an early morning flight, but it is raining here now so not so sure what it will be like in the morning. If it’s not too bad by the morning and you are keen, call to wake me and I’ll aim to get there at around 8am.

Looks like the wind might finally ease tomorrow, and the forecast is looking good also. I might try to get down to the field for an early pack or two.

Fantastic value for what you get. Plenty of scope for mods and improvements. I worry about the availability and cost of spares. BTW - Further to discussion at the field the other day, the pitot tube is apparently integrated into the on/off switch.

Hi Rossy,

How did you go with the Parrot Disco ? Very tempted at the $ they go for now. Review post, please ?
