Work and play.

Thursday saw some members gathering to roof the area between the shed and container.

 A couple of blokes assembled new PV Panels to give a lot more grunt to the bore pump.

While on SATURDAY, other blokes sizzled their way to a very tidy sum.

A rare sight!

Today was another excellent day for weather and we had plenty of pilots raring to go.

RARE WAS RIGHT!

LOOK AT THIS

You are NOT dreaming, Graeme proves that the Skyraider is not epoxied into the trailer. David C was coerc  politely requested to see if aviation was possible.

And away into the blue.

 Yes, aviation is definitely possible.

Time to head back.

Nearly there.

Ground effect - woo hoo!

 

Okay that's got the dust off - now back in the trailer with you.

July Wet

A couple of photos from Graeme B taken 6th July.

Our water over Bengworden Road

Why the driveway is minus some gravel.

A lot of water out there.

Car park 'riverbed'.

Pits being a river.

Great photos, thanks Graeme.

ESC Sunday

Weather was a little better than forecast, the breeze was lighter and more westerly, so a lot friendlier for fliers.

Tweaking ?

YES, of course, tweaking.

Brians nifty Seb Art Model had been sounding very odd.

Here is the culprit.

NO, HERE is the culprit.

 Yes, it looks like the old frayed-wire trick may have been involved in cooking the ESC. Look at the colour of the windings.

SNAP!

Graeme B had been ripping up the sky, when nil-response from the trans inputs was observed, fortunately the model was in a flat turn at the time and just circled gracefully to outland with only a prop tip broken.
Another lovely day at the field :)

Sizzle

Many thanks to those blokes who turned up on Sunday for the Bunnings Sausage Sizzle.
Next one is August 27 (but you knew that) and we will need more volunteers, we just scraped through last Sunday. We made a little bit more than last time, this is a very worthwhile fund-raiser, I wish more members would participate.

Lovely weather for visitors.

Lovely weather today for our visitors members of the VJAA looking to try out our top-notch field.

Nice Trainer

Bits to make it go

My mate Rob Kas took some shots of models in flight.

Everyone  I spoke to Thought our field is excellent.

Terry Thomas turned up in my next car (after I win Tatts).

My wife LOVES it :-)

AGM

Last night an uneventful AGM at the West Bairnsdale Football Clubrooms, a pleasant venue. Surprise surprise, no changes.

Sunday

Good weather again - offering relief from yesterdays boring election.

As reported last Sunday Ian has this lovely Spacewalker and I have photographed it so all may bask in its beauty.

The 4 cylinder engine tappet covers peek out through the cowl in just the right places.

 Pilot has all the right instruments for aviation

 Workmanship is top notch.

 Four exhausts  to coat the underside in lots of gooey oily stuff.

NOT ONLY THAT - IT FLIES!

How about those neat con-trails, lots of them today.
