Pattern comp

Hey guys on Saturday 20th March there will be a pattern competition at our field. So there will be no general flying that day. If you haven't seen this before go along and have a look, these models are worth quite a lot of $.

Mike

A great day

A few of us took advantage of the great weather. The usual guys came out, Mike, Rob, Fred, Peter, new member Graham and former member Ben. Graham had a maiden of his scratch built Hustler with great success.

Graham and his scatch built hustler. He was very happy with it's maiden flight. 😀

Graham and Ben hard at it. 🤪

Ben and his chopper. He hadn't flown this for a few years.

 Our AGM/GM and Christmas barbecue was attended by 7 members and one associate, we welcomed new members Reg and Bill. There was plenty to eat, no flying was done due to the bad weather but that didn’t stop the social side of things. Thanks to Chris for sourcing 2 huge batteries for our charging table, the solar panel is happy now that it has new batteries to talk to 😀. All we need now is for the weather to improve for us to catch up on lost flying time. 

So see you at the field.

Cheers

Mike

 

AGM/GM. XMAS BBQ

Hey guys now that lockdown and travel restrictions are over we will be having our AGM/GM combined with our Christmas barbecue on Sunday 6th December .

So come and catch up with everyone, have a fly, get some official business out of the way and have a feed.

See you then.

Mike

We’re back

Well after many many months of lockdown we were able to go back to the field. Good turn out and a great day for it. Still wet in spots from the large amount of rain, but there is enough of the field to fly off. 

Hopefully after this Sunday for those of us that live outside the 25 kilometre radius will be able to join us.

Check those batteries.

Cheers

Mike

Nearly

Hey guys how have you all been through this weird time.

Well it looks like we are nearly there, so finalise you're membership if you haven't already done so.

Dust off your planes get your batteries ready and let's go flying!

Will be great to catch up with everyone and put this year behind us.

See you all soon 🤞

Mike

Stay safe

Hi guys it's been a while eh?

What a messed up year we are having!

No flying due to virus then too wet and now that damn virus again!

Hopefully we will get over this hurdle soon and hit the sky again.

So until then guys stay safe.

Mike.

What a great day
What a great turn out of members and visitors
Weather was perfect you could not have wanted to be anywhere else
So many planes!

Pattern guys at SWAMPS 10/02/2018
The rain held up the comp for a short while so they stopped for lunch
It rained a bit more when they resumed but was not heavy enough to stop them
They had about 20 entrants
These planes are electric powered these days
They fly so smooth and precise and quiet
I'm sure they all had a good day, plenty of comments on how good our field is
They always enjoy flying here
A great bunch of guys
See you you next round
