Blacktown Fly-in - Sunday 24th March
#1

Just wondering who is planning to go to Blacktown? Its in 3 weeks, but last I looked at the pictures for McCoy and the weather forecast, it could very well be the next chance to fly this side of PEMAC.

Radio: DX8, Mode 1
Blu-Baby (decided to go green and hug a tree, in repairs)
Parkzone T-28 Trojan (pilot looks asleep but plane ready to go)
E-Flite UMX Beast (Barrel roll you say? But I did 10 in a row while you were asking)
Parkzone T-28 Trojan Ultra-Micro (terrorising the local workplace in the name of more practice)
Parkzone Stryker Ultra-Micro (ready to take fingers off willing launchers)

There is usually a pretty decent crowd from our club that head out to Blacktown for the annual fly in, I will certainly be making the trip if the conditions improve.

Parkzone Stryker 27 Evolution
E flite Ultra Stick , T 28 Carbon Z
Skyartec Skyfun Scorpion,Skyfun 90 EDF
Hobbyking Voltigeur, Funfighter T28, Mirage 2000, Minimoa 2.4m Glider
Jet Teng L-39 HPAT Stumax 90
Pheonix Tiger 50
FliteWork Extra 300 LPX 2.6M

Don't ever let the fear of landing keep you from taking off!

Yip - I'm going, for sure. Perhaps the strip will be mown this time!
There's usually a good turnout and some large and interesting machines ... just need the weather to improve.

A reminder for this thread!

The weather forecasts look very good for aviation at Doonside tomorrow - should be a good day. An opportunity to catch up with a few fellow-flyers we haven't seen for a while and see a few things, both good and bad Smile

I might put the PRCAC shirt on and head out that way earlyish
What time is likely to get under way ?
I'm free early on, as the missus has taken the little ones up the coast to visit her mother

Notes, A Chair is a good thing to bring if you can.
If i can fit the shelter in i will bring it, but planes get priority.

Thank you 'Tipper - it was pretty good. They'd mown their runway and it was alright (... not quite up to PRCAC's demanding standards though Wink ).
There was a smaller turn-out than last year's but there were still a lot of interesting machines to study.

Jason - I've got your prize from the lucky-dip too (a small ThunderTiger outrunner) so I'll pass that on to you next time I see you at our field.

Wayne - thanks for the loan of your chair, I've got that to return too.

I had a very pleasant morning at Blacktown today. I had to be home before 11 am so that cut things a little short. The air was very nice and still and the day was setting up for some great flying.
Steve B was in fine form blasting around the sky with the Nemesis and my little red Yak enjoyed having a little more room for some extra long slow rolls.
There were some very nice large electric machines there but I didn't get to see many of them fly which was a bit of a shame.

Thanks for picking up my prize Steve !! George I still have your stuff too from the pylon day I'll bring it down to the field next weekend if your going to be there.
