Simon Chaddock Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 As always very weather dependent for me but if the wind is gentle enough I will be there with at least two "new to the site" home built foam planes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Chaddock Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Making use of the current calm sunny weather I have now test flown each on the planes I intend to take. The only question is will this calm weather hold till next weekend.😟 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 Hope so, forecast is allover the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chaddock Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Looks like Saturday has the best forecast for me. Little rain and a "breeze" more down the strip although with gusts of 18 mph which is more like a gale for my super light weights. 😟 So likely a slight change to line up to leave out a couple of the lightest EDFs (a pity) but it still leaves 3 EDFs and include a more conventional pusher prop that will better handle those breeze gusts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 Rain Saturday now, late in the day but event CANCELLED. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cripps Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 That's a shame, John. Luckily, I decided at the last minute not to bring the caravan up and stay for the weekend but just do the one day tomorrow instead. Now that you've cancelled I'll just have to find something else to do tomorrow before my wife finds extra jobs for me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you've cancelled I'll just have to find something else to do tomorrow before my wife finds extra jobs for me! There's a fly-in at RR(Hucknall) MAC tomorrow and Sunday. Their site in in Underwood, Notts (lost the airfield at Hucknall, which is now a housing estate). I know their field is (or was) very soggy so they may have cancelled, too. It's WW2 based event. It's near me so, if it's reasonable I may have a run over to see what's happening. Check their website here for the location. The event is advertises here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Chaddock Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) I too noticed the light rain now forecast for Saturday pm so half expected a cancellation. Such a pity. Anyway late this evening at 8:45 it was flat calm so I flew one of the planes anyway the FX707 with flaps. Easy enough to see against the pale cloud high up but low down against the dark tree background not so good. I landed at 9:02. Should be there for the 20/21 July.

Geoff, the Hucknall event has been cancelled. Was going to visit as I am staying in the housing estate in the old airfield! Spoke to others who told me of the cancellation. Chris.
