The weather has changed at last.

 The weather has improved at last, it was even warm in the sun. There was a good turn out of members on Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoon, last week. The old workhorses have come out of the sheds, a quick wipe over to get the dust off, and they were up in the air. There were a couple of new models out, with more to come I think.

 

The flying strip and pits are getting a regular mowing, the grass is currently short enough to allow most planes to get away without too much trouble.

 

 

 

Hopefully we will be in for a great flying season. 

First day at the field this year.

 Tuesday the 10th was the first flying day down the field this year. The area around the entrance gate is still a bit soft and muddy, wellies are recommended. The strip has had its first cut of the year and is OK for ROG take-offs, but not with small wheels. It will get better after a few more cuts.

Myself Mark GS, Dean P and Jon W turned out despite the early morning fog and rain around the area. The weather improved throughout the day with a gently SW breeze, plenty of flights were made and everything went home in one piece. 

Mark's scratch built Ballerina, a Peter Miller design. It was on its maiden flight and all was OK. It flew very nicely with no issues.
