Field is still closed due to Wednesdays rain.
Some of us had a look today and its not much better than the above pictures and the grass is much longer. No mowing of the strip was done.
Will keep you updated.

Have you decided on a venue & time for the AGM. I might bring some more donation planes.
13-07-2022, 12:45 PM
With no more rain forecast for Parramatta I'm hoping we can walk in to Mccoy and have some flying before and after the AGM.
The AGM is at 11am. The agenda is -
-Presidents report
-Treasures report
-Election of new committee
-Safety talk by our club flying instructor Jason Vanajek
Many will be glad to see you again Wayne. With the planes and gear you are donating we were thinking of selling some of it to members and then using the money to buy fire extinguishers and first aid kits to be kept in members cars. The PA ultimate you left me has got to be at least $300. I'll bring it along.

Hi guys, Below is a link to some fire extinguishers Bunnings they started $19 and upwards. I think having one of them in your car is a good idea?.

Planning but I just learned that its walk in. Heli's too heavy to carry with the batteries and radio.

Flying now with Peter and Andrew. It's walk in but the field is drying out. srl

Car park and strip have been cut and its good for members to open the gate to drive in. Just be careful of holes near the bottom of the ramp.

Hello Ignacio, I don't know if anyone had contacted you about flying today, but just letting you know that we had a thunderstorm go throught Blacktown around 9am with the rain falling well into the day, so there wouldn't have been any flying today.
Hopefully, next weekend will fair much better weather.
Regards Todd

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.

Thanks for you reply Todd. I will definitely be joining next weekend
Regards.

Hi Ignacio
Good to meet up with you today. You are keen.
Hopefully we can team you up with a mode 2 member next week. You can look at some guides on setting up a trainer tx and we can fly it that way. Pete has a cable.

I am using a Taranis x9d+ and I'm using mode 2. I look forward to seeing you there next weekend.
Btw, I found a small battery inside my fixed-wing, it is a 2s nano-tech 850mah that is not mine, I will return it next weekend.
Thanks again for helping me out, I'll try to get my quads ready as well.

Some rain the last two days but it looks OK for tomorrow Saturday. I might bring the EGO mower in case the strip needs a quick trim.

Hello! I know this is off topic (not so much because I am going tomorrow if I get to fix my wing), but I know I have a message from Stephen but I might be doing something wrong because I have no idea how to reply to that message. Maybe srl can send me his email on a message so I can message that email back. Thanks!
