15 August 2015

Well as the weeks race by we are ready for another day of flying and as usual the wind has come along for the day... Not as bad as it has been but still enough to be annoying. 

 

 

 

Even with a windy day predicted and becoming reality lots of club members come along anyway knowing that we can still get some flying in regardless of the conditions.

 

Billy was all keen to get some more hours up on his Cap with Greg along side with some great words of wisdom. Your doing a great job Billy. Almost warbird time...

 

 



 

 

 

Our latest Proud achiever of their Bronze wings was James.

 

 

Yep we see it...

 

 

Now lets see what you are all about....

 

 

Curtis was out with his Astro Hog for a few flights knowing that they might not be as easy having now after the Birth of his Son... Congratulations .... OOOWWW how life is about to change.......

 

 

Turk readying his Flybaby for another sky tear up session.



 

 

There is a little size difference between the flybaby and his mustang. Both exciting to fly anyway.

 

 

Mystery surrounds Turks mangled big toe. As the story goes he dropped something heavy on it but as the club truth comes out it appears to be something completely different.

Turk, not wanting to become headline news and tainted as a hero, had to kick out at a flying full size helicopter blade that had broken free from the helicopter he was fixing. Turk instantly calculated the blades trajectory and knew that it would contact a bus full of young kids heading to the airport. Without any hint of personal safety he struck out with his foot and deflected the blade out and harmlessly away for everyone. Boy what a guy........

 

Of course there is another story going around about him being as full as the tax departments bank balance and stumbling around in the women's section of Kmart trying to chat up one of the mannequins only to trip and kick his toe on the metal base.

 

I like that one but the one he is trying to spin is he dropped a heavy BBQ plate onto it.

Yer right.......(you'd never lift something heavy)   You make your own decisions...HEHEHE

 

 

 

 

Simon getting some instruction for Turk the toe...

 

 

 

Anthony didn't have much luck with his chopper so out it went and into the trailer for something else.

 

 

Out come the old Tango.

Boy did it cop a pasting. Sure hate to upset Anthony..

 

 

 

 

 

Some heavy concentration happening on the flight line.

 

 

 

I had several great flights with my Boomerang.

 

Until

 

 

 

This is what happens when you loose control of the thing Slow, and turning in high winds.

 

I know the walk of shame. Ain't that karma a bitch.

 

Balsa anyone..

 

Well we are getting ever closer to securing our new temporary field. Hopefully hear some news this week.

 

Hope to see you all out next week for some more carnage oooh I mean flying and fun....

 

 









08 August 2015

A day that promised a lot of high winds actually turned out to be quite a good day. In spite of the predictions of a bad weather day people turned up and lucky for us the winds were calm. We are getting to know that this place seams to have its own climate so we may as well just try our luck and hope to get a few flights in...

 

Jesse arrived with his Extra on steroids and was quickly in the air.

 

 

 

Again showing some of those rusty skills he has. (yer right)

 

 

 

 

Turk had his boomerang and Flybaby out to get some air.

  

                                 

 

 

Barrie had his large hanger out and ready starting with his great flying ME262 

 

Then to the heavens with the lord almighty.. 

 

 

 

 

Cameron had his foamy hanger out and preflighted  ready to go.

 

 

                                              

                                             

 

 

Instructor Greg giving Domenic some handy hands on help...

 

 

 

Greg getting ready for some more knife edge action.

 

 

Bob with his new Boomerang 60.

 

 

 

Dennis getting some taxi time in with his new twin engine Mosquito.

This aircraft appears its going to be a handful to fly. All fingers are crossed for you Dennis.

 

 

Dennis ready to go with his beautiful 120 Pc9.

 

 

No engine power on take off causes the carnage. DAM.

The flight was set to be a good one but the sudden stop had different ideas.

Bugger Bugger Bugger Dennis .. What can we say...

 

 

 

Hey now who's this sneaking in for a fly.......

Great to see Simon back out for a look. Come on Simon we know you want to get back into it....

 

 

 

 

 

Well a little carnage and a lot of flying all adds up to another great day.

Hope to see you all out next week..

 

25 July 2015

                        The weather was great and the field was freshly mowed. We had a great turn out today with lots of flying. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come for the club as everything is going ahead with great success in our endeavour to close the deal with the Council on our new field site. I will keep you up to date as things progress. So far we are in the final stages of acquiring the use of our 2 year temporary site and should have the tick of approval in a couple of weeks.....



A full flight line. What a great site..

 

 

 

 

 

Looks a little chaotic at the moment but we will have it sorted soon.

 

Jacks Pc9 ready for action.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dennis spent some of the day trying to get that dam

DLE 35 to run again. It is proving to be a

reason for Dennis to start drinking..

 



 

 

 

I had my Boomerang out and for a change had a half dozen flights.

 

 

See I can fly it and not crash.....

 

 

The Prez got out the noisy guns with a great flight of his chopper

followed by a lucky escape when his throttle servo failed and

he had to sit and wait for the fuel to run out.

 

 

 

 

 

Some serious discussions about anything is the choice of the day.

 

 

 

Billy and Danielle inspecting the results of a Elevator servo miss function.

Lucky an easy fix.

 

 

It was great to see Jesse with his 100cc Extra.

 

 

 

After being re certified by James ( our heavy model inspector)

Jesse put on a fantastic display of flying. It sure is fantastic to see in the air.

You can't miss it.......

 

 

 

Who said flying has gone to the dogs. Sadie our latest member was relaxing after

all the action. There was a lot to take in.

Sorry to have to do this to you Domenic but the walk of shame is a bit of

a tradition around here. After the purchase of the boomerang today There was nothing left but to have a couple of test flights. Dam should have put them off until next week.

Bloody Dumb Thumbs.....

 

Well if it is too big to put inside what choice do you have. I bet this got a lot of

looks as you were heading down the road.

 

 

That was another great day for the CMAC team.

 

Hope the weather holds up and we can do it all again next week.

 

See you at the field...

11 July 2015

Well after a bit of re organising we have started to get some flying done. There has been a bit of a change to the field but with the rain and sun the grass has started to make our new temporary strip look quite good.

The weather seams to be coming good and today it was in our favour.

 

 

It looks like we have got this flying down to a regimented art form.

 

 

 

 

Obviously there is something happening here.

Great line up guys..

 

 

We will be holding our AGM on Saturday the 18th July 2pm at the field.

Please try to make it as we have a number of things to discuss plus the election

of new office bearers.

Anyone with anything they would like to sort out can have their time at the meeting.

We really do need to get together so that we can organize our club's future direction.

We have to decide what our club membership fees will be as they are due now...

We have some very encouraging news to announce at the meeting.

 

Hope to see you all on Saturday.

 

We will be flying before and after the meeting..
