    Yes is certainly was another beautiful day in Paradise. As for flying weather, almost perfect.

    Chris, did you recently update the firmware in your keychain camera?  I did mine a few days ago and you can no longer edit the video clips as soon as you make a cut the following video disappears. I reckon there is an issue with the latest update.  Today I changed from AVI to MOV format to see if that fixes it. Will try to edit shortly.

    Thanks for recovering my Hatch Cover Uncle G.  That pesky pet eagle of Kermit’s will steal anything that’s not bolted down.

    The Li’l Eagle is all repaired & ready to take to the skies again after Sunday’s misadventure !!

    Thanks Col for all your work and dedication to getting Puddleduck sailing to where it is now.
    Just getting back to sailing without all the baggage will certainly make life easier for you and I should know.

    First video of the day from the “Prowler” FPV glider

    Second video from yesterday.

    This one onboard the “Li’l Eagle” biplane. Shot with the #16 keyring cam.

    Hoppy, your keyring camera has a much narrower FOV than mine but it still looked good, would have been even better if the camera didn’t move.

    The Hawkeye cam looks great no you have the focus fixed.

    Another fine production there Mr Kermit.

    I must have been half asleep this morning as I can’t even remember flying BumbleBee but there it was so I must have as cameras never lie.

    in reply to: A nice no wind valentines day massacre fly #7306

    My first video is done, several more to go but probably not till tomorrow.

    in reply to: Midweek Fly-In 10th February 2021 #7269

    All I’ve got to add, no cameras on the Bumblebee today but a good 30 minute flight after lunch none the less.

    As for Moose’s Tundra, she was flying perfectly and looking great after Moose’s expert repairs then Kermit’s Eagle took a liking to it and drove in in to the ground at a great rate of knots.

    Gee Kermit what is happening, I don’t turn up for a couple of weeks and here you are on the podium in third place. Just what has come over the coveted Tail End Charlie ? Well done Mr Frog.

    As for the handicap system, what happened Col. Took too much effort to manage eh.

    Personally I think the return to the old on the day 15, 10, 5 will make most of the skippers very happy.

    I have acquired a replacement set of A+ sails for Illusion, (thanks to Ron B) to replace the old ones that have been split around the battens for several months, so I will make a concerted effort to get them fitted & return to regular sailing hopefully from next Tuesday.

    All 4 unlisted camping videos have now been added.

    Only viewable here as they are not visible on my YouTube site.

    All the videos took a bit longer than I thought but all done now.

    Only the DVD to burn for Jim now to add to his growing collection.

    in reply to: Henty River Camping 2021 #7213

    Yes Kermit but you always were a bit of a wimp around dragons !!

    in reply to: Henty River Camping 2021 #7212

    We had a set of MaxTrax onboard the ute just in case but they never even got unboxed. Probably could have laid them over the holes and used them as a bridge!!

    in reply to: Henty River Camping 2021 #7211

    Yes I guess we are a bit lucky down here, we have coast at ALL points of the compass.

    in reply to: Henty River Camping 2021 #7210

    No Kermit, not quite a bush basher yet. I stuck to the track and don’t think I got over about 12 kph in and out.

    I would have liked to try the Outback in the actual sand dunes but the track to get there is a bit too overgrown for my liking.

    We did get through with the ute and cleaned up several of the worst areas with the chainsaw as we went but you don’t get as many dune buggies down there as used to be, they kept the trackside growth well trimmed, but not any more.
