I see you have sorted out embedding videos, well done.
Another nice set of videos. The Esky Eagle is quite stable for a small wingspan. Makes a nice FPV platform.
Thanks
Well this is how it looked after a nose plant (probably caused by a failed servo gear)
After a bit of work, some glue, tape & paint she is all ready to fly again.
I even managed to find an old clear canopy for it so at least “Predator” is back in the Pilot’s seat.
Now bring on the good weather !!
I understand where the confusion could come from but I think Chris’s intention with this was just as a heads up on what may happen in the future, not a replacement for the calendar which is the spot to register what is actually happening & who is going.
I’m not fussed either way but especially with the changeable weather we are having at present I think Chris’s suggestion has merit AS LONG AS EVERYONE USES IT CORRECTLY.
My weather map only went as far as Thursday and it was a lot windier than Wednesday, but hey this is Tas a lot could change in 4 days.
At this stage it looks like Wednesday 17th June may be the next option for Flying at the Field.
Light winds in the morning dropping out before midday, the rest of the week from now till then is either wet, windy or both.
I’ve cleaned out all the previous posts to this topic as it was starting to get a bit messy & confusing but I think it’s a good idea to get a feel for what MAY be happening before the actual Calendar post goes up (which often happens at short notice).
Looks like a reasonable turn up for a cold and miserable day.
Something a bit different to look at video wise anyway.
Hope the weather improves next week.
I had a look at the weather for Saturday & it is predicted to be very windy & cold.
Best leave till next week.
How it happened, according to the Frog. Back to his old tricks again. Never ever let the truth stand in the way of a good and entertaining story. Bravo Mr Frog.
“small buggar” is that some NEW breed of frog?
I could find reference to a “Lumo Buggar” but not a “Small Buggar”
As we don’t need two separate topics for the day & Kermit has far more content than I, Ill move my post to this one.
Moose’s Triumphant Return to the Canal
Well it has been a long time coming and over the months we have seen many appearances of the Moose imposter (being Kermit the Frog in disguise) but today we were treated to the triumphant return to the fold of the genuine one and only Mr Moose himself. No imposter this time, the genuine article.
Moose has been absent from both RC sailing & flying for many months due to some ongoing medical conditions but today he was back & raring to go. I reckon we will see him at flying next time out as well.
We had five hardy skippers braving the chilly morning today, Moose, Kermit, Pete, RonB & yours truly and once the sun came out it was quite a pleasant day although with only light to very light winds (more suited to flying) . We also had an impromptu visit from Uncle G on his way home from hanging out with the Marine Modellers group @ the far end of the canal.
We sailed 65’s & 95’s and of course the Sydney 36 and toughed it out till around 11:45 then finished up early for the customary BBQ lunch.
The Council have not yet seen fit to reactivate the electric BBQ’s at the site but luckily Kermit & I both had our twin burner portable gas BBQ’s at hand so no one went hungry.
Overall another fine day enjoyed with friends doing what we enjoy best, nothing.
Great to have you back Moose, hope your health luck is better for the latter 6 months of the year than it was for the former.
Yes Chris it was, unfortunately.
No crash video as I had just removed the FPV platform to test the performance of the larger 3 blade prop. Obviously too much performance for me to handle!!
Operator error – what else can I say, it was just one of those days.
Looking a bit worse for wear at the moment.
Just about to start repairs, shouldn’t take too long. I’ve fixed worse, at least this is mostly a clean break.
