With the weather about to turn ballistic over the next few days (40c tomorrow & cooler but blowing a gale Tuesday) we decided to take advantage of the almost windless morning & mid range temp to have a quick fly before it got too hot or the southerly winds came in.
There were only 3 Flight-line tragics in attendance today with 5 planes (or maybe 6 with Gerald’s VTOL that I saw hiding in his car) between us, but they all spent time in the air.
There was virtually no wind at ground level but once airborne the conditions were definitely a little more interesting.
Gerald found the going not to the liking of his TrainStar (its a very lightweight plane that doesn’t handle wind well) so he quickly swapped over to the Bix 3 for several successful flights.
Kermit had his Tundra flying beautifully & even got to test the RTH function when he briefly lost sight of where he was, the Tundra responded to the command and returned back to directly overhead. After a bit more uneventful flying Kermit had a mishap (he tells us it was the resident eagle again) and nose planted it, rather heavily, yet again on landing.
Oh well they say we learn from our mistakes. Sometimes it just takes a few more mistakes.
I had a 10 minute flight with the Grand Tundra fitted with 3 onboard cameras, video compilation below,
then followed it up with a bit of (rather poor) 3D aerobatics with the Bix 2 Sport and finally some low level flying, just because the day was so nice & calm.
No BBQ today so we packed up around 12:30 just as the temp & the wind started to increase.
So that is it for flying now until 2020.
Happy New Year to one and all.
Mike

Great videos Mike and nice flying by Uncle G and Mike.
And now for Kermit
I don’t believe it was that dreaded eagle more like the Gods are finally seeking payback for all the dreadful things that the frog has done over the past year.
When you really think about it why did it happen on the last flight for the year
This post does not require a response ( from the Frog )
