Simon Chaddock Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Still a bit far off for accurate weather forecasts but at the moment the BBC weather says Sat 26th will be "breezy"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Chaddock Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 John I am sorry to say I cannot make it to this weekends fly in despite having prepared a car full of planes!. My car has just developed an "engine fault" and as a consequence has dropped into "get you home mode". The garage ran a diagnostic (5 minutes and £42!) which showed a diesel engine's worst nightmare - Excess pressure across the Diesel Particulate Filter. It could not be reset suggesting it is the pressure sensor that is at fault.. They can't actually look at the car until next week and I don't really fancy such a long journey with the very modest performance (about 1/2 power!) available in the get you home mode.

Dave Cunnington Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I just wanted to say thanks guys for making me so welcome on both days - and thankfully the Bixler has survived the tree treatment DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Be other days Simon and it was gusty Sat/Sun. Nice to meet you Dave, Bixlers fine, lots of tree climbing this weekend all being done by club members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Walk of shame for the Bixler crew, nobody laughed honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Peter F brought his magnificent Tiggie and flew it, very challenging wind direction and strong gusts, flown beautifully and landings where perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Thanks to everyone who paid us a visit this weekend, special mention for Paul Marsh and Chris Barlow, a couple of great lads with endless enthusiasm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Barlow Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Thanks John that's very kind but you guys are the stars doing all the setting up and entertaining us all weekend. We had a great time despite the wind, which just made some models more challenging to fly. Never seen so many tree landings in a weekend and all the doomed pilots took it extremely well, even when the Goblins took Gary's night Bixler 3 times in 1 flight finally sticking it vertically in the top of a small tree! Colin cemented his Duck award by dunking several models in the drink! I found it very surreal to be looping and barrel rolling around the moon in the dark on Saturday and Sunday night. Peters Tiger Moth was just stunning in detail and build quality and he demonstrated superior piloting skills treating us to two flights in around 14mph winds. The quadcopter FPV guys were brilliant and very chatty. It was interesting to watch the quads in the air as well as FPV through goggles. Also had a good laugh and banter with the lads flying the 3D stuff as well and was stunned to see the big Yak turn up on the roof of a pickup truck! The Vulcan flights were very dramatic and exciting finally ending with a reasonably successful flight. Huge thanks for another great and memorable DVMFC fly in. Lots of fun and laughs in a very friendly club atmosphere. Looking forward to the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
