Due to the COVIDIOT from NSW that jumped quarantine in Tas & forced the state into a 3 day lockdown, it was a mask day today (and at this stage till this Friday) down at the field.
There were some minor fogging issues with some that wear glasses but overall the masks were no real impairment on our flying today.
A 9:30 start was picked as the weather was predicted to turn nasty around midday but overall it was a very pleasant flying day for the group of 8 that attended.
We flew a variety of planes and a gyro-copter (very briefly) till 11:45 then as the wind picked up, broke for our usual BBQ lunch. Wasn’t easy eating & drinking through a mask so we opted for social distancing over lunch instead.
We then adjourned to Toad Hall to inspect & pick from a multitude of planes that Kermit had been asked by his Bro & a mate to dispose of. Most need a little work but expect to see some new planes around the field in the not too distant future.
I got to Maiden my recent Birthday Present from my dear wife, the Durafly Slow Poke, and she flew beautifully.
I need to modify the wheels slightly to stop them sliding up the support wires, since I changed their angle of inclination to give a 50mm wider wheel track and a lower stance, but other than that no problem.
Note: This is now fixed by adding Carbon Fibre tubes to the centre of the wheels. Originally the cheap & “orrible” wheels had no centre section for the axle to ride on, only the two outside skins of the wheel hub. Should be OK now.
Contrary to what a lot of YouTube videos state the Slow Poke does fly super slow and there was no sign of tip stalling at all today. Very pleased with the maiden flight.
Uncle G got to maiden his new FMS Ranger, he reckons it needs a bit of PID tuning in the AP but it flew well none the less.

Who is this BAD ANGEL person?
Kermit, Your plane looked good today with the ribbons, but next week could you step it up a little bit more, like in this video.
Green smoke and flames would be impressive!

Dear Mr Kermit
I hate to challenge any one on their statements BUT as President the absence of the President you have total control over all the storm troopers of The flying group
Therefore you are our supreme decision maker.
I plead with you to reconsider your decision on sheep poo raker and reinstate me to rightful position as Weather guru
-
YES your right MR MOOSE why you dont want the position on offer I cannot understand BUT as a careing acting leader of the flight line gang I think there is still hope for you in the field of weather forecasting therefore you may act as 2ic to the weather guru HOPPY until your predictions fail to an unaccepterional level ofcouse this offer is subject to approval by our supreme leader until then put your hoof in an have a go. KERMIT LA FROG 2IC FIELD LINE GANG

There is money to be made in sheep poo! I already have an assistant weather office, being Predator. On a different note I just signed up to the Australian Electric Flight Association. Free to join, see https://www.aefanet.com/

From wikipedia ” Moose are solitary and do not live in families or herds.”
There is no plural for Moose, its not Mooses. There is no need for a plural. But at least they dont suddenly change their sex like frogs do.
As a headsup, Tuesday or Wednesday look OK wind wise with Wednesday being drier. I cant find the perpetual thread we had for this. Hope everyone is free those days…
