    • Important Note:
      • Due to a sudden ruling by the Army and Department of Corrections we are no longer permitted to overfly the farm land adjacent to the power strip. Flying must remain on the rifle range side of the deer fence on the far side of the runway. Committee will advise further after considering this situation.

    • Summer Soaring Series 2018 (6/3/2018)
      • Arrived about 5pm; noone else there; configured my electric glider and launched. One climb into lift and flew around for the next 45 minutes. So much lift around. That all changed when the wind shifted around to the south. A few of the other guys turned up around 5:45pm.

Unfortunately couldn’t find any more. Argh, the good old days. From memory we did a lolly drop at Fraser Park (whats that […]

    • Avoid using this switch
      • Although I read a few bad reviews about this switch I thought I would use it in an electric model which required a receiver battery switch (it appeared to be a reasonable switch). Well it didn’t go well. About the fourth flight the aircraft stopped responding and crashed in the prison stock grazing area. I […]
