      And what a great day it turned out to be, slightly chilly early & quite windy but the day warmed up by mid morning & the wind virtually disappeared (and even a couple of thermals made an appearance).

      We had eight pilots today + a couple of visitors tagging along with Fab.

      After a few failed attempts Kermit did finally manage to get “Big Greenie (V2) off the ground and it was flying well until the wings folded (funny how that happens when you don’t use a wing spar) but he is getting there !!

      He also test flew his Phantom 2 that fell from the sky last fly day, seems to be all fixed even though it flew away in the wind.

      I don’t think anyone else had any hiccups bu the videos could well show otherwise as you often miss whats happening around the field when you are flying as well.

      Couple more videos to go, probably tomorrow

        PRELIMINARY REPORT ON BIG GREEN EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT  IMPACT

        This report is for big green experimental high wing 5mm foam board built material :

        As an experimental home built aircraft that was superbly built to the highest standard in the home built   category  We found the left main wing spar failed under server wind disturbance  causing the wing to separate from the fuselage resulting in the aircraft removing itself from the space between the ground and the air  ..it was noted with numerous video evidence that  big green failed to turn to starboard at an appropriate time  .this was determined to be caused by rudder flex in the steering configuration  and not the brilliant TOP GUN FLIGHT SCHOOL instructors fault due to his outstanding airmanship he brought the sickened aircraft to an area in which no harm could be caused to visitors or other airman

        This board has concluded the instructor  /pilot KERMIT LA  FROG did display the highest level of airmanship

        In this mishap and we exonerate  said pilot and find no cause to proceed further

        This safety board incident  is now closed to further discussion  and the decision is final

        THE FIELD SAFETY BOARD  2025 THURSDAY 10 APRIL

          It might not have been the pilot’s fault, but it certainly was the dodgy aircraft manufacture’s fault.

          I wonder whom that might be?………………Just sayn

        I just found this page WOW they were quick ay   anyway  I see from the official ASTB  ? that in their opinion they thought the aircraft was  superbly  built an I think so to  sooo are you jealous MR SINKER   ………………………..just sayn

        We Are Not Alone: Another stupid ‘Milk Crate Production’

        Kermit are those 3 aliens the ones operating on your butt ? Im sure you will be better by Wednesday which looks like being a good flying day especially the afternoon, though you may not be able to sit down. I have a few carbon spar arrow shafts, if u want them you can collect from my place in Howrah, or I can bring when we fly.

      • #18820

        THERE is nothing wrong  with my BUTT  geeeze   ……. you fellas have misunder stood what my opp was about  it was my eye ..  EYE not BUTT    how can you miss EYE    at our lunch break  I will… at no expence tell you all in detail about the operation as I saw it   ….dont thank me it will be a pleasure ……………………………..just sayn

        What an amazing set of videos and some irrefutable evidence of inappropriate things happening before and in the air.

        So the big question is will the next meeting of the Flying Field Wallaby Court accept the accuracy of the claims made in the allegedly “independent” PRELIMINARY REPORT ON BIG GREEN EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT IMPACT.

        Public assertions already made by some members of the Court suggest there could be a split decision… But who punting on that?

         

      • #18823

        Thank the gods Stephen has come on line No more BUTT  commentaries No crap from this boy  straight eye to eye contact   The ASTB who must watch these Aviation videos decided that there was so much controversy over the deliberate grounding of big greenie that an investigation and result be published …. all news to me  BUTT   they did it  so lets SIT on it  and view it from their  angle    ok …………………………..just sayn

      • #18826

        ATSB still probing BUTT as usual they’re in complete denial, just say’n 👽

      • #18827

        AS far as I know Milk Crate ATSB have stopped their probes ….there was some discomfort…  BUTT no finger pointing has been extended towards any one so hopefully No more probes  No more BUTTS  just clean hands  and an end to the BUTTSs and I can sit down and relax  hoping there wont be an internal probe      BUTT you can never tell. with the ATSB they like to wiggle their fingers  ay ………………………………………………………………………….just sayn
