I've sent the family to Adelaide and built a new wing so I'm keen to fly all weekend! 
Let's hope I can work out which side of the field to fly on this week
ops: 
BTW, (for those who may be interested) the new wing is (or started out as) a NACA 2415. it sits on the plane at 5deg incidence (the previous wing was almost flat). I've increased the wingspan by about 4cm and increased the chord (by accident) by about 2cm. Overall, I think the new wing is significantly lighter than the old one but probably just as strong. COG will be my biggest issue in the first couple of flights (I think).
