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.
 

Sundays

Sunday 10th.

 A few of the "Usual Suspects" having a good time.

Sunday 3rd,

Ralphs 'bitzer' gets flying.

Kevin C 'flying'

Not flying - talking.

Lin at work.

Bruce B and cute foamy

YES!  Graeme M gets Mentor-the-replacement off.

All in all, two good Sundays.

The Sunday After

Action event over, time for the weather to get better.

 With better weather came plenty of pilots.

Graemes Mentor the second made an appearance.

 Think tank in session.

Ian is getting in plenty of practice for Wagga.

Long Weekend

Day Two - Sunday ACTIO(n).
Oh dear, heavy drizzle to start the day, having to stand around and drink tea and coffee, this is NO WAY to start the day.

 About ten o'clock things started to improve to allow serious stuff.

Elevenish, competition could re-commence.

Then things got BETTER!

At the end of the day there was celebration!

A very good long weekend, I believe, was had by all.
Sincere thanks to every participant, we hope to do it all again at the Mid May Muster, 15th May.

Long Weekend

Day One - Saturday  ACTIO(n)
Very Grey Gloomy Day, just the sort that make flying difficult.
Here are a few photos.

 Looking forward so much to tomorrow.


 

Sunday Grey Day

Yep, another grey day, breezy, but plenty of fliers.

Graeme holds on as Ian runs up his lovely big Cub.

Cameron packs up his wonderful Eindecker 

Eindecker pilot is looking happy to be back level.

Fourth Wednesday Feb.

Very warm grey day no breeze, but small air movement from all points of the compass.
Kim brought out his re-built FW 190, looks beautiful.

 Everybody was interested to see it and find out about the new engine, which has not yet been fired up.

The cowl had to be removed for some reason before starting, revealing the ballast needed in absence of a great big radial engine.

It's a petrol glo engine by Mr OS called a GGT15.

Unfortunately it is a Two Stroke which is absolutely wrong in my humble (slightly biased) opinion.
Should be a Four Stroke. Sounds better.
Of course the plan was originally designed for one of those wonderful Electric Motors which would have been even better, but Kim couldn't help himself and put in this engine.  Fortunately it is fairly quiet considering it is a infernal combustion device.
Neat heli muffler fits well within the cowl. 
Looks better.
I am looking forward to seeing it in the air where it belongs.

Second Wednesday Feb

A very grey gloomy day in the sky but vibrant on the ground, with modellers having planes to fly, and fly they did.
