Club Night Thursday – July 16th

On a sunny, calm, and gorgeous July evening, the field was “buzzing” with 13 avid flyers: fuelling, starting, tweaking, and flying their beloved “masterpieces”. We had gassers, gassers with smoke, 2-strokes, 4-strokes and electrics all vying for air-time in the picture perfect sky.

Our two students, Larry and Peter-John, got training flights under the guidance of instructors Craig and Cec. It won’t be long before they get their “wings”—Good job guys!

All too soon, the sun dropped below the horizon and the mosquitoes “rose to the occasion” forcing us to call it an evening ’till another day.

This is “the flying fool” saying stay safe, stay healthy, and we’ll catch ‘ya at the field! Cecil

Club Night Thursday – July 23rd

“Simply fantastic!” are the best words to describe the weather this evening. Plenty of clear blue sky with just a wisp of breeze out of the northwest.

Ten pilots and two guests marvelled at the antics of model aviation and the pleasures that go with it. Lots of fuel was burned, and the air was alive with model aircraft ’till the setting sun shut us down.

This is “the flying fool” saying: stay safe, stay healthy, and keep flying!

Over and out… Cecil

Club Night Thursday – July 30th

The weather Gods were smiling favourably upon us once again! ‘Twas a delectable evening with a gentle NW breeze to set our circuit direction.

Eleven passionate flyers and one guest came to fly their labours of love — and fly they did!

The evening wasn’t without “incidents” however! Yours truly let his “student” get a little too far off shore and “Murphys Law” took over……
That’s right .. dead stick! The plane was too low and too slow, but a perfect landing ensued – albeit a hundred feet from shore! Another pilot, while on a “holding pattern” waiting to see if the “flyin’ fool” was actually going to make the runway, got disoriented and ditched his plane in the lake also! Well, now we had a “two-four” and had to call on Craig aka “Aqua Man” and our trusty rescue boat “Jaws” to get the planes back to shore! Thanks Craig…much appreciated!

We didn’t want to leave but lack of light was grounding our fleet so we cleaned up, packed up, and headed home.

This is the “flyin’fool” saying…stay safe,stay healthy and we’ll catch ya’ at the field!

Cecil, Craig, and Nico enjoyed the fine flying weather this morning. Nico flew his new Seamaster (less tip sponsons) from the wet grass. (photo by Craig Knight)

Steve Daly’s Twin Otter – Saturday – October 3rd

This is Steve Daly’s Hangar Twin Otter. The day came with dramatic clouds that added to the atmosphere in the images. It is powered by two 15cc 4 strokes and has lots of power. One engine was acting up, so the engine cowl’s are off.On the last flight of the day one engine quit on landing approach. Steve got it down without a hitch (last photo).
