    Great write up Bodge. Although it was cold, I think the sailing went really well today.

    After listening to the chat about lipo batteries today, I rembered that I did a presentation at the Wednesday night ham radio club meeting a few years ago (REAST) which included lipo battery safety tips.  I’m going to extract that part of the YouTube video and add it to the thread that Kermit started earlier.

    In the meantime, here are a few of my hatcam videos from today.

    Race 1

    Race 3

    Race 4

    More to come…..

    Here’s a presentation I did a while ago at REAST and I included a section on safety with LIPO batteries….

    Oops, I need to do a bit more editing….

    Well Mike, I think you might have just outdone Kermit with the background air traffic audio on your snippets video. That sounds really cool.

    in reply to: GG’s CRASH #16752

    Great video Kermit and I really like the added touch of background music.

    It looks like Andrew now has a plane with a green rudder. That was generous of you Kermit.

    Any videos taken at Forcett Gerald? Might be some good footage in that wind.

    Great write up Shorty.

    Congratulations to Trout for first place today. Very consistent sailing and a well-deserved win.

    Also, a big thank you to Bruce for helping out with the scoring today.

    It was very nice of Puddeduck staff to offer to heat the ham & cheese pinwheels.  They are generally good cold but much better when heated.

    Following is a selection of hat cam videos…

    Good to hear Dennis. See you at the next one 🙂

    I suspect it conked out and he needed to retrieve it Kermit?

    in reply to: Friday Fly – Kermit in charge #16662

    Great videos Gerald and Kermit.  The summaries where very accurate as well 😋

    It’s a shame my “candy dropper” didn’t work as planned with dropping the whistling bomb.

    I really love the “frog cam” Kermit 👍

    Great write up Shorty and congratulations on your win.
    You picked some great courses for sailing today.
    The missus was happy that everyone enjoyed the caramel slice.

    I reckon the gloves that Bodge found are mine. They must have dropped out of my pocket after sailing.

    Following are my hat cam videos of some of the races today…

    Great write up Bodge and very wise words indeed. We all want to have fun and enjoy ourselves at “The Duck” so people will need to pay a bit more attention and be more courteous which will benefit everyone.

    I’ve managed to process all the hatcam videos from today except for race 1 as it took way to long.  That race could rival some of SBS’s documentarys on “slow TV”!

    The following footage is from races 2, 3 and 4. Races 5, 6 and 7 will be posted after the final video has finished uploading.
