Congratulations Kermit for being the inaugural recipient of the perpetual GMA.  Well deserved for your excellent video skills (no, I don’t want anything).

Corona virus tests came back negative so I’m looking forward to the next fly date that I can attend.

Happy New Year everyone!

Fantastic video Kermit. We have missed your videographer skills of recent.  Thank you for dedicating your time to this.

Here’s looking for a great year of sailing next year 🙂

Nice videos Mike. I wonder if there is any “post processing” or inbuild video stabilisation to give such a stable video?

Here’s my hat cam videos.

That’s a beauty Mike. I have heard of them and seen them before.

I should fly very well.

Love the colour scheme 🙂

Very entertaining viewing and well done to all the videographers.

This will be a difficult choice for the GMA.

Looks great Kermit. I can’t wait to see it fly off water 🙂

Hello Kermit, I’m not offended at all. I love the banter that goes on here 🙂

Thank you Mr Moose. I am humbled.

I had a pretty good day and I have some footage from my on board Runcam camera from my C1 Chaser Wing and Ardupilot screen capture video.

The short clip shows me enabling autotune and flying pitch and roll maximums for the flight controller to set up the PID’s.

I then decended to an altitude of 6 metres and selected cruise mode which maintains the altiude while you fly around.

Also, thank you Kermit for the plane.  This one looks interesting.

I’m looking forward to the next fly day that I can attend.

Thanks for the scoresheet Shorty and thanks to Predator for the upload. The PRO Stuart picked a great course for the challenging conditions and did a magnificent job at keeping an eye on the start line and calling out the contacts.  Thanks Stuart.

Here is some hat cam footage of race 7 and race 8 which contains the second fountain incident and boat rescue.

Hmmmm…. There may not be any flying in the short term as there are rumours abound regarding an impending lock down.  Premier making an announcement at 2:30 pm.

Well, happy birthday Mike.

I hope I get to see it’s first flight.

My other daughter and her husband are visiting from Bundaberg arriving tomorrow for 10 days so I have taken a bit of leave.  Hopefully we will have some good wether and they are keen to come out flying and sailing while they are here. 🙂

Thank you Uncle G.

Sunday was going to be my painting day as I completed the Spitfire Saturday evening but couldn’t resist taking it out for it’s first fly Sunday.

If it didn’t work out, I wouldn’t have needed to paint it! 🙂
