Wednesday

After the Mid May Muster, today the weather was warm with tiny breeze -- just wonderful.
Ken decided that it was maiden flight day for his recently completed Vought Kingfisher after only about nine years of construction from plans, (not continuous of course).


 Originally a float plane, but better for Ken on wheels.



Nice detail.

Excellent dummy engine hiding an electric motor, of course.



A lovely flier, nice work Ken.


Mid May Muster

Well, alright, it was a bit breezy and not always from a nice direction, but otherwise a pleasant day as far as the weather went and the company was most excellent.



I hope the hitch-hiker doesn't fart!
 



Lindsay Lamonts Douglas Dauntless (pilots choice) 



Maiden flight over, heartbeat slowing down.
 






Commiserations Mark Radburn, the model was only 9 or ten years old.
Plenty of aviation committed, but the wind caused a halt just after lunch.
We will all be back again next May!

Wednesday 27th

Nice weather today except for a due North breeze, I hate 90 degree cross-breezes!
Anyhow, plenty of us had a nice time, specially David C and Graeme B, getting out their FPV models.
 Graemes model, waiting.
 Camera blocks pilots view.
 Lens cap needs to come off.
Bits on the top.

Davids Model.

 Neat arrangement.
Camera is well protected. 
Very tidy topside.
 Lucky launch shot.
What can I say?

SATURDAY!

Yes, we are here on Saturday, Visitors from VARMS (Victorian Association of Radio Model Soarers) came to sample our skies and our lovely airfield, not to mention our renowned camaradiere.
Weather was good to excellent at the start with a breeze from the West, straight along the strip, veering to South in the afternoon.

 Almost ready for take-off.
 Graeme assists Daniel Malcman prepare another Tug.
 Airborne!
Tim Morland, not sleeping; Soaring!

Landing queue.


Thumbs up for great field, food and friendship.

OOOOOPS!

DUUHH, I forgot to include my lucky shot of Graeme B soaring with the Eagles, there were two of them and when he decided to leave, another Eagle joined in.
 They were mighty high, extremely difficult to get in frame. Lucky shot.

Wednesday

Fabulous weather brought out plenty of members.


 Bruce just loves his new FMS Staggerwing.


Brian showed off his new paint job on the Wyvern. (Video to come)
Tom was showing off with his elderly 3 channel model, no wonder he still keeps it flying.
