[IrishWolf]

Thank you for Today and all your time John, Have just ordered a TB-20 ARF Kit but have upgraded all electronics for assembly. Would like to know what you recommend or run in yours as well!!

Went to the field about 9.45 this morning for a look. It certainly was damp but the roadway in was fine to drive on.

After an argument at home with a flyscreen door swinging shut on my Mustang which broke one wing side in half I had a repair job to do. Decided to see if it would still fly but on launch I presumed it would fly well. I should have had a mind set that I was maidening it as it didn't fly well. My brain took a second to to adjust to the new crisis which was too long at about 5 feet off the ground - broken nose and prop. Lesson in that for me for the future, after a repair consider the first flight to be a maiden so that I'm ready for anything.

IrishWolf and Greg came along for a while. I maidened a high wing balsa HobbyKing plane for IrishWolf then landed and did some adjustments before a pleasant second flight. Big oversize wheels made take-off and landing easy on a somewhat smaller strip than usual. Calm conditions existed which is what this plane needed and had today.

Got in a flight on my TB-20 which flew great and landed properly on the damp surface. This will probably be my last flight at McCoy as my move to Maitland is on next week.

Looks like good weather tomorrow so if there is no more rain before then I reckon those needing a "flying fix" should see a useable field.

I will miss all the friendly souls of PRCAC. It has been a great few years. COMSOA club in Maitland will see me early next month when unpacking is over. If anyone is ever up that way I would love to see you.

Best wishes to everyone.
