18th June 2016

We are back..... After a long 12 week lazy spell the blog is back......

Today was a gathering of members for a general fly and the annual AGM.

The weather was a bit overcast and a steady 15knot South/Eastly breeze. The field looks a picture after all the rain and sun and is starting to work nicely for our flying...



A good turn out on a bit of a lack lustre day..




Barry kicks things off with his nice new Raven




After a little preflight a right Aileron Servo twitching caused Barry to re-hanger the cub for some maintenance and to fly another day.

Barry brought out his newly made Batman powered Delta.


After a bit of re-balancing it flew great.



Neil had his speed air 40 out for a fly.


Turk had a successful maiden flight of his newly acquired Stick.

Jesse was out with his extra 300 for a final flight prior to selling his hanger

A quick attempt at flying with his ducted sniper but the grass and small wheels prevented it getting airborne..

Captain Jack refuelling his PC9 and Boomerang.


The Roulettes are ready.


Captain Grumpy was ready for a Roulettes Flyby.


Even i had a few flights with the Pc9.

The shaded areas were getting a bit crowded with aircraft as Anthony readies his hanger...



Matt Holt from Mareeba club came along to display his DLE 60 powered Extra 


And his magnificent Elec powered Pc 21. These aircraft were displayed with style by Matt with some silky smooth flying..



An unfortunate finish to the days flying occurred after a wayward aicraft being flown by James went out of control and slammed into a parked Sbach of Bryan's demolishing them both. Luckily no one was hurt but the aircraft were beyond repair. This brings on a big alert for our saftey procedures and follow up action is to be taken.




The AGM was held and all topics for the next years activities were discussed.

The office bearers for the 2017 period will follow on a Blog tomorrow.

Thanks again for all who attended and hope to see you out flying next week..
