Today all the Foxes came out to play.
Kermit had his 1.2m Mini Fox, Hoppy had his 2.3m Fox “Foxy Chic” and I has the big 3m FMS Fox out and about.
There was another good Flight-line turn up on what turned out to be a warm but (for most part) windy day.
A couple of Kermit’s toys
and some of Moose’s
another of Hoppy’s EDF Jets
one of Andrew’s not so big gliders
Rian with one of his toys
Uncle G making one of his less than perfect landings in the wind.

I find that the woven CF rods are stronger than the extruded ones. Most yacht mast are extruded which is why they split if not bound or sleeved on the end. The woven ones look like CF sheeting.
If Hoppy’s arrow shaft is no good then Nicks Hobby Shop @ Sorell had a good collection of various size & length CF rods at a reasonable price.
The Fibreglass Shop in Argyle St also stock them in longer lengths but they are not cheap.

I just measured my Fox and its shrunk to 2.32 metres. There were good thermals for a while today as I had 2 long Fox flights. I also flew the HK Parkjet with a new 12 blade ducted fan for the first time after the 5 blade fan broke. My poor Drifter, F16 and Eagles didnt get to fly today. I have 5 videos as I got 18 video files from Rian’s drone (actually sd card inside his DJI goggles. 3 videos are from last week 29th September and I think the GMA needs reawarding based on these. We can have a vote and I say give to Rian!
Last week entry numer one from Rian:
Last week entry number two from Rian and myself as its of my Fox!
Bonus content from last week from Rian flying his quad around his folks house and yard:

WELL ryans drone is truely a fantastic new media Im at a loss to how the moose is to award the GM because the drone footage cannot be replicated by anyone else at the moment so as far as the drone footage goes its brilliant but like in flight aircraft camera its another catorgory and as such doesnt represant the overall activity on the field and in light of that if the GM is given out to just drone flight then there is nothing on the ground that can match it so its one sided with in flight camera aircraft the winner is the one that captures something different like hoppys cloud surfing that got him the well deserved GM now compare that to ryans drone chase every time we fly no one can get to that high standard and even though the shots are just unbealervable good the novelty factor will wear off so may I suggest a category Two winning videos In flight /ground video and ryans drone video is left as just great entertainment until another drone fella joins us then the third category is open……. or is this to complicated or unfair your thoughts folkes ifin Iv stepped on some toes sorry
