Perfect conditions at the field today with a light easterly and clear skies and temperatures in the twenties.
Whoever picked the day did a great job?
As usual Kermit looked after us with no fees or donations and as always did a great job on the “Roadkill” barbecue.
He even mowed a runway for us to use.
And to top it off he managed one flight with his Bixler without crashing.
Here is my short video,

Gee Ron, I have never seen your Beer Box Spitfire fly so poorly. It has always flown like it was on rails. Just what was your problem ?
-

Hi Mike, the tail of the spitfire was a bit flimsy and past it’s use by date maybe.
Something wasn’t quite right with it when it got in the air and was quite uncontrolable.
All good though, I didn’t expect it to last very long. It was great to build and fly.
Journey starts with more beer now.

Looks like you are a bit out of practice there with your takeoffs Mr Frog, and the motor sounded like it had only 2 connections rather than 3, could be why your ESC erupted.
Looks like you need your old mate Predator down there watching your back eh !!

Yes Mike, he missed his technical support!

Looks like Mr Frog is running a bit late again with his this weeks entry for the GMA’s so I will set the voting to start at midday today. As all the recent votes have been registered within the first 24 hours I will set the voting period to 24 hours rather than 48 and see how that goes.
Can always change it back if it creates problems.

Kermit, check your video edit settings, they should be (MP4 1920 x 1080 @ 25fps) for normal HD video

Well then, even without sound it at least has content. Gets my vote.
Looks like a fun day was had by all. The beautifully manicured runway was a bit of a waisted effort though as no one managed to stay on it, taking off or landing. Easier to just use the road.
I see out illustrious President Ian was a No Show again. Becoming a bit of a habit methinks.

And for Stephen, if a real one can do this?
Looking forward to our next flying day where Kermit promised to give a demo on how it’s done!

Looks like I have a lot to learn to get mine to fly as good as that one.
Love the low level maniac flying – how do they manage that?

We got clobbered by a huge storm last week which caused damage to marina structure and I got a small hole in one of my hulls but 6 inches above waterline so ok. Hole and marina now fixed and weather is good now with hopefully no more bad weather till June. Here is brief drone footage today from a friends house:

Looks calm and pleasant now. Is that your mansion on the hill? Looks like a great place for retirement 😁 and drone flying 👍
