      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.

      • #16991

        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.

        Most enjoyable  videos from the viper studio   I was watching with MISS Piggy and she was most displeased at being called THE PIG    She has directed me to inform the unenlightened ones her title is and always will be MISS PIGGY  unless you wish to be KRUNCHEDDDDD BY miss piggy  its best you comply   ……not my words ……………………………………………………..just sayn

        Another top video Kermit, just a shame Andy wasn’t filming when Predator landed in the tree, we might have seen it happen……………………Just Sayn

          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

        Good video Mr Frog but what happened to the “Kermit-Cam”, I was looking forward to that !!

        • #17001

          arhhh the kermit cam MR PREDATOR SIR I had 3 vids from the SD shoulda been another one ? the film was far to fast or rather the free fall was too fast so a non event miss piggy and kermit tandem wasn’t on the sd card  I will be checking for free fall damage shortly …………………………………………………………….just sayn

      Oh dear me Predator not tree hugging are we mmm back to TGFS for you…

      • #16999

        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

    • #16996

      Now here’s the truth to tree hugger  I purposely replaced the tree grabbing predators whizzzz banger because I beleaved he would /could get PSD as I did with the sinkers incident   I Don’t apologize for my actions ….Due to recent on field emergency’s I have decided to become a doctor  I have already started this journey with 2 pages of my first aid booklet  read so I figure 3 weeks tops I should be a doctor no problems ……….DOCTOR Kermit  sounds right ay ……….  4 weeks MISTER Kermit  la frog ……………………………………………..just sayn

    • #17003

    • #17004

      DUE TO PRESSURE  I have decided to show kermit’s unfortunate free fall   It worries me  why people wish to see an unfortunate incident like this ….but   there ya go ………………………………………….just sayn
