Well Hoppy did it again, picked a perfect day for flying.
The call was for a 9:30 am start (which scared some of the pilots away) as the weather was to turn a tad ordinary around midday. It didn’t happen and the 6 pilots in attendance all had multiple flights with a large array of different aircraft.
Andrew had a perfect flying day today & went home with all planes intact as there were no Plovers to attack his flying things today.
Rian only stayed for a short while but also had no issues today.
I had one rough landing (coming in on RTH) with the AR Wing and knocked the motor mount & one winglet loose but nothing a spot of glue wont fix.
Moose spent most of the day perfecting landing with his TrainStar Epoch, might need a bit of work on the landing struts but overall he went very well & went home a happy man.
Both Hoppy & Kermit have a couple of planes to repair after a day of misadventure for them.
As usual our resident frog Kermit did a superb job with the BBQ lunch, thanks Kermie !!

Kermit asked me to not lodge any videos today and as he is my BFF I will oblige. My V tail balsa glider suffered a lot of damage. I think one of the V tails broke off in flight while I was circling tightly in a rough thermal. Anyway it plowed in vertically from 200 feet. Motor and battery need replacing and wing will need a substantial rebuild. Oh well, its over twenty years old so I got good mileage out of it, even the trophy for winning the Tas 7 Cell comp held near Lonny in the days when 7 Nicad cells were the power source.
So I may be after a new Rudder/Elevator thermal glider!

A very deserving winner though I would question how many sheep were traumatized in the making of the videos?
