3 degrees overnight & it had not warmed up much when we arrived at the flying field at 10:00am. By midday when we stopped for BBQ lunch the sun was out and it was finally quite pleasant.
Only 3 in attendance today, Kermit, Predator & the Gentle Giant but we all managed multiple flights.
I managed to park my Stearman Bipe in the very top of a rather tall tree (will need to wait for the wind to dislodge it & then collect all the pieces).
Kermit removed the nose (yet again) from his Radian Glider but a bit of glue & tape soon had it flying again.
Andrew just flew his Radian without incident (as usual).
There was some Parachute jumping by the Frog & the Pig and all in all the day went well.

Mike, it looks like you have been getting lessons from Kermit’s TGFS on how to land in trees.

Yes, looks like he taught me well.
Unfortunately I’d just fitted a brand new F405 Wing Mini FC unit & GPS and a $50.00 Rx. Next Time I’ll fit a new flight battery as well!!
At least the camera came back to earth so I guess that’s something.

Another few words of wisdom from one who wasn’t there…. GG who has passed the videographers course from TGFS video section was flying at the time of the tree hugging incident if he had been filming yes he would have caught the tree emergency …but again I as a now practicing doctor I would have removed that screen for reasons stated below ……………………………………………………………………..just sayn

Ah well someone has to do it, otherwise Kermit has no footage for his “Oops” moments.
That’s my excuse & I’m sticking to it.

DEAR SHEEP FIXER UPPER ..I DIDN’T WANT TO SAY SHAGGER..Predator was never a student of TOP GUN FLIGHT SCHOOL sooo his entry into the tree was without skill no finesse just a common slap bam perhaps if he continues to use this approach yes a coarse of tree landings can be resurrected for him with conditions ………………………………………….just sayn
