IMAC

 Well, whatever that means.

Actually, it means  'International Miniature Aerobatic Club' administered in Australia by
Australian Scale Aerobatics Association  https://scaleaeros.com.au/index.php
they had the use of our field for the weekend, while we provided the immaculate field and food.

Here are some pics from Saturday the 27th.

Not bad weather, but was not up to our usual standard.

The food was though! .....Yummo!

Cheers, Geoff 😎

Sadness

 But HAPPY!

Our wonderful hobby shop, "ToyLand" in Bairnsdale has closed, Ian and Jill are retiring after many years in the Nicholson Mall.

We wish them a warm, comfortable, well deserved and safe retirement.

Many thanks to you both from all your customers over the years, you will be missed.

Very best regards,

Geoff.

Epic

GLIDERS.

Battery power enables us to control our models in the air.

When the battery runs flat, sometimes the model keeps flying.

SOMETIMES they are snagged by a tree.

Yeah, Brians nifty glider, stranded.

Help on the ground from Mick and Rob along with a lot of string, a bit of weight, a long length of thin rope and HEAPS of energy.

Eventually.....SUCCESS

HEAVE HO, HEAVE HO, HEAVE HO, HEAVE HO.

SOMEHOW

It must have got caught up in the string when it was dislodged.

Lowered gently to the ground and returned to Brian.

NOT - A - SCRATCH!.

Well done those blokes.

Cheers, Geoff. 😎

VJAA Weekend

 The weekend meeting of the Jets flyers was very well attended, pilots came from all over the place. Weather was fair, sunny and not too windy.

Here are some photo's.

A great weekend, we'll do it all again and more 11 and 12 March at our
ACTION Event.

Cheers Geoff. 😎

Come-and-try day.

Yesterday was 'Come-and-try' day.
We had a good turn-up of members and a few tryers.

We had two simulators running and quite a few people try them out.

This young bloke came back for more after two good flights outside with Chippy.

A good day despite the wind.

Cheers Geoff 😎

Digging the dirt

 Lots of work on Wednesday, trenching for the new water-bore power and water pipes. The usual suspects were hard at work.

Here's some pics.

The new bore pump is a real game-changer. Lots more work to come to finish it.

Cheers, Geoff. 😎

Just me and Rob B left at the field, he had his lovely new Mavic Mk3 mini so I requested some photos of the field.

Here's a small selection.

Many thanks Rob.
