Wednesday 28th was a bit blustery at times but very flyable, Dave tried out his foam 'Global Hawk' EDF.

It was a very exciting flight from my viewpoint, the model was all over the place, but "landed" without damage.
Dave also thought it was quite dramatic.
He says that some adjustment is required at the V-tail end, otherwise, flew well, but getting off the ground was a bit difficult with small wheels on the grass. The weather map is not looking too flash for Sunday.

A rather nasty incident on the day reminds us that electric models can damage human flesh with equal ease as an IC-powered model.

Wednesday 25th July was a fabulous day for flying except for the COLD.


 Brian brought along his own designed C5 Galaxy with 4 - 65mm ducted fans running on 2x4s LiPo
Ripping through the sky on 4s


Coasting in for a smooth landing.
Fly on 2 x 3s LiPo it will, very nicely.
Glide very nicely too it does.

July Christmas

About 21 attendees enjoyed "Christmas in July" on 21st July.
Sandra and Lorraine were the instigators and are to be congratulated on top organisation. I think everybody brought along something from a casserole
to hot nibblies.
Much conversation and mingling made for a most enjoyable evening.
The food contributions were excellent in their diverse variety and tasy flavours.




 Here  are just a few photos of the happy crowd.

Mid May Muster

I had to give up trying to upload from the field yesterday.
Weather was as near perfect as it could possibly be.
There were 20 pilots registered with 36 models.
Here are some of my pix.

FORECAST

The forecast is now for a stiff breeze straight down the strip Sunday morning, easing a bit in the afternoon.
The bureau may be close in that regard, however Sunday will tell.
Weather otherwise will be pleasant and camaraderie will be present in large lumps, along with refreshments.
Hope to see you then.
