Midweek Fly-In

[Predator]

It was an absolutely perfect flying day today & the Farm.

No rain (for a change), virtually no wind & a balmy 17 degrees, climbing to 21 degrees later in the afternoon.

We had a good turn up of pilots today including Kermit (Linal), Andrew, Gadget (Ron), SeasideMitch (Stephen) & Predator (Mike). We were missing the Sinker (Uncle G) who is still recovering from a very bad dose of “Man Flu” but reckons he’ll be back on deck by the weekends sailing @ the canal.

Our illustrious President, IanRM was also missing in action, hopefully he didn’t get locked out (farmer Greg requires the gate to be relocked at the moment) but we waited for 5 minutes after the allotted time & then kept an ear on the phone most of the day but all to no avail. You were missed Ian.

Poor old Kermit was a bit worse for wear today with some foreign body in his eye (from his recent tractor repairs) and giving him hell. He did manage a couple of flights though & I saw him on the camera on more than one occasion but you may need to forgive him for any “Soft Focus” issues today as I’m not sure he could see what he was videoing

[Hoppy]

Really like the Osprey footage and is a strong candidate for an award. Here is a full scale one near me in Subic Bay that has been flying over us a lot. No new vid from me.

Perfect weather for flying today. Well picked.

Facinating video of the Osprey Mike. Amazing watching the transitions of the diferent flight modes.

Here are excerpts of my hatcam video from today:

Also, this is the glue stick I mentioned earlier today that I find works well on the 3D printer:

Checked motor shaft and is 5mm.

[Gadget]

I couldn’t find a 5mm propeller adapter Andrew, sorry.

[Predator]

Andrew, I have 3 x 5mm Prop Adaptors, I’ll bring them next time we fly if you can’t source yourself a replacement for your loose one.

[Predator]

Not sure if Kermit will post tonight or not so I’ll leave the voting start till tomorrow @ midday.

[Andy]

Thanks Kermit for the opening and closing shots of the video…… not.

But i guess it filled the whole screen.

[Kermit]

Andrew  your butt was just askin  to be plastered on the video buttt  I did ring up the sinker to ask his advise as to doing it or not  SO under his advice I proceeded

[Predator]

It looks like all of yesterday’s videos are posted so voting will commence at 11:00 am today.

[Kermit]

AS ALWAYS I VOTE FOR THE UNDER DOG so the sinker always gets my vote but as he wasn’t playn I gave my vote to gadget FOR HIS MIGHTY EFFORT   well done gadgie  an as the predator has this one in the bag  its ok

[Former Members]

Sorry people……I wrote my apology on some screen but I must have lost it!    Had a patch of the dreaded Lurgi which knocked me back a bit; AND now an inflamed foot……Gad,  sir, is it GOUT!  That may be but it’s painful.   Back on deck as soon as possible…meanwhile have fun! Cheers, Ian

 

[Kermit]

MR PRESIDENT SIR  you may like to discuss your problem with the Sinker because he’s been out for near two weeks with the dreaded  LURGI    although ….you don’t drink do you …… WELL that does it don’t bother asking him about your problem  Regards     KERMIT LA FROG

[Predator]

Looks like the Frog has it again this week (The Golden Moose Award that is)

 

Well done Kermit, a masterful video this week (even with your one eye handicap)

[Gadget]

Well deserved win Kermit.

Kermit, I didn’t vote for you because I didn’t get my Sunday roast last weekend.

But congratulations anyway!

[Kermit]
