Friday Indoor

Yes, Mid May Muster will eventually get up.




David C has a go at tweaking my Waco to see if he can make it fly.




Tom is trimming his free-flight model



Bree flew her Twister and a mini Vapor















Tom fuels up the free-flight.
Note his nifty miniature winding device.



Lots of discussion about models and indoor.




Toms models circled and climbed slowly almost to the lights, circled for a minute then slowly circled to land, all very quiet and sedate.



It was a good night, it's a pity that not many turned up to enjoy.

Sunny Sunday



 Great weather again, all week, if we are REALLY lucky, wednesday will be fine also.


What is it with Ralph and twin engines?
Gremlins meant maiden was not a success,

Ian overhauled the engine of this Stampe, part of a collection he purchased a few months back.

You know, the models in the shed with prices on them.
Plumbing was not as it should be, so some time was spent actually getting fuel to arrive at the carby.



 Brian had no luck in firing up the engine for the Sea Fury for its first run, so the cowl came off to reveal the stunning practical exhaust.




Meanwhile Ian flew the Stampe and declared it a "Keeper".

30 April 2015

After the wet.


 Wednesday 29th dawned as a fine day and plenty of members turned up to FINALLY get to fly again after weeks of bad weather.


Our few low areas still retaining a bit of water, but otherwise the runway was very good.




A temporary drain was dug to reduce water in the pits area.








 Graeme had the Victa out to blow away the dust.

 Toms glider gets a rest after tearing up the sky.

 Ian gets help from Ron as he commences run-in operations on a new engine in a new model.



(Below) note the mess coming out of the practical exhaust pipes



Car park is not the greatest place when it's damp!
