First, Wednesday:
Driving into the field today I looked at the Winjeel on the pole and thought that the prop is spinning so fast it's invisible, amazing!
Later, this is what I saw.......
Okay, the prop is back on, hopefully it will rotate in the wind visibly now.
Wednesday 27th saw many hands making light work of erecting a new landmark and possible tourist attraction at the field.
Cheers Geoff. 😎
Yes it's August and we are still here, the weekend 11th to 13th, we had an influx of associate members with a few nifty models to fly.

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.
The food was though! .....Yummo!
Cheers, Geoff 😎
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.
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.
HEAVE HO, HEAVE HO, HEAVE HO, HEAVE HO.
Well done those blokes.
Cheers, Geoff. 😎
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.
Cheers Geoff. 😎
