Another nice day @ the Field today, 10:00 am start to beat the weather but the winds were light all day & the rain held off.
There was a small amount of Thermal activity, well at least enough to carry the two parachutists, that jumped from my Grand Tundra “Bush Pig 2”, up way high above the altitude that they jumped at and off into the distance over Frederick Henry Bay and well on their way down to Dunalley.
GT flew well as she always does as did the 820mm Sky Shadow Wing (with the slightly dumbed down stabiliser).
Also got to maiden the 900mm AR Wing but only in manual mode as the stabiliser was not functioning correctly, probably an operator error in programming (I’ll check shortly). I’m manual mode it flew very well but was extra touchy especially as its currently set up with full throws on all control surfaces. It spins on its axis & has 100% vertical climb as well as a very tight loop so looking forward to the next flight. The AR Wing had the RunCam 2 fitted but the canopy was pressing on the camera control button & ran the battery flat overnight. I’ll rectify it with a small spacer ready for the next flight.
Programming checked out OK BUT I did have the aileron & elevator servo wires (Delta Wing Config) crossed over. I’ve also changed to SBus connection and that plus the wiring change seems to have made the stabiliser far more responsive (like it should be). Ready for Test Flight No 2
One casualty today with Dave misjudging a landing with his Razor and not only damaging the plane (luckily fixable) but damaging the poor old Moose as well. Metal nose cones do bring up rather large welts eh Moose.
Not long after, just to add insult to injury Moose also pranged his Razor, just after experiencing a fly away with his Cessna that resulted in a near perfect 3 point landing in a nice low tree.
Hoppy had his cine-quad up and about as well as his Foxy Chic glider & FPV planes so should hopefully have some good video to show.
Kermit also seemed to have his camera in hand most of the day so overall there should be more videos added soon.

Nice video Kermit, I really enjoyed that. A bit too much wildlife again, but gets my vote for the prestigious GMA!

I loved my kangaroo free landing, but the plover rudder removal was the most spectacular! Moose award?

I agree with you my dear friend but as it has evolved I was robbed from my award GIVEN then TAKEN away due to a kamakzi attack by BIG BAD DAVE after the incident the fur coat lost his voice lost his ability to wobble
oppswalk an went into a coma of sorts his beautiful missus took him to the vet hospital They wanted to remove his hoof an replace it witha flipper but he said no as he often scratches his butt with his hoof an couldnt see himself shovin a flipper up his butt for a scratch, but now we have a new comer with the new winner HOPPY who kissed the naked hoof an in return received the GMA ….UNCLE G was so incensed that the loving friendship he had with the fur coat has dissolved So no more GMA for him but Im not distressed about the stripping of the GMA from me as there was an element of fair video in HOPPYS VIDEO just a tad ………………….just say’n

Here is my entry for the Golden Moose award. My Fox suffered many scars to get this footage so I cant believe the award has already been given. I think there should be a revote or seperate award for airclips.

It’s amazing just how bendy the fin and rudder are. And a good thing too else you would have lost the lot with the huge hit. I reckon it’s would win a gold logie if it was a popular vote choice, but it is not 🤔

Gee, I think I’ll stick to playing with the eagles, at least they play fair, those tag team plovers were hell bent on ripping off your rudder, as they did it Andrew’s glider.
Nice clear video. Which camera was that?

I have just spoken to the owner of the award TGMA and it was quite obvious the the fur coat is in a state of shock as the medication he was perscribed at the emergency animal shelter hospital is still working he said his hoof might need to be removed and a flipper put in its place he lost it at that stage an the rest was the usual blabber but I did gleen that its possible that a re think of the award is possible due to his medication

16 September 2021 at 14:10 #9315
Oh yes I did suffer some foolish episodes while reclining in my chair medicated out of my mind
However I am now completely sane and have re listed the winner of this weeks G.M.A (no frog will win this award )
and it goes to a very worthy winner it is ?
