Well then, Gadget excelled once again with his pick for the Flying Day.
Virtually no wind, no rain (but a bit wet underfoot) & sunshine most of the day.
We had 7 hardy souls roll up today for a bit of flying, Kermit, Seaside Mitch, Predator, Gadget, Sinker, Fab & DavP with all enjoying the ideal conditions.
Gadget maidened his Foamboard Corsair and she flew beautifully. Several successful flights throughout the day.
I was hoping to maiden my rebuilt Beaver but unfortunately the motor screws came loose when taxiing for take off. Oh well better than in the air methinks. Always next time.
Looks close (but it was all under control)Everyone flew multiple models (see today’s videos) and apart from DavP who had his FPV Dart come apart in the air, & Kermit with a prang or two, the day went off without any major problems.
As usual Kermit served up a sumptuous BBQ lunch while we all sat around & told lies.

Davpep, the foam putty we discussed today can be purchased from Hobbytools.
https://www.hobbytools.com.au/Foam-Putty
A few of us use it and I reckon everyone will recomend it for foam repairs 👍

Great effort Kermit considering the problem with the video.
What you have is very good. Editing video is so time consuming and frustrating when it doesn’t work out. I think I speak for everyone in saying that we are very grateful to our dedicated videographers for the extra effort you put in after the event. So a big thank you to you and Mike👍

Hopefully we will get another flying day again soon.
The Beaver loose motor issue has been fixed (used nylock nuts this time) & I replaced the prop spinner as I think the original was a bit damaged and causing some vibration also.
Anyway all good to go again now.
