As well as a general clean up on Saturday mowing etc. we have to move and level the mounds of dirt which has been left over from the drainage job on the other side of the runway so we need some wheelbarrows shovels and of course your muscle So if you can oblige it will be much appreciated No flying until the work is complete and a BBQ lunch will be provided for the workers. Thanks Guys! See you at the field
Pete's new manbag will of course be made from snakeskin going by the size of this beauty seen down at the field on Friday. It comes as a timely reminder that the snakes are very much still active so if you have to go walking through long grass in search of a model, be extra cautious and make plenty of noise to let the snakes know you're coming.
Lilydale is in the lead by 6.5 points over Yarra Valley.
Last meeting, I showed everyone a quick build "Chorflute" and Aluminium model I had just completed but not flown. All materials available from Bunnings and cost less than 30 bucks (less the running gear..) Well, I am happy to report that the first , and subsequent 35 odd flights have been excellent. At last, I have an aircraft I can practice hovering on without fear of a "personal" GFC. For those that want to have a go at the build (…and I know there are a few). Here is a link to the plans and build instructions: http://www.spadtothebone.com/SPAD/Qhor/ ….but that's not all….If your adventurous, you might want to have a go at the many other plans for SPADS (Simple Plastic Aircraft Design) here: http://www.spadtothebone.com/SPAD/ Perhaps someone will build this one?… http://www.spadtothebone.com/SPAD/Spadstang/ As always, drop me a line if you need any help.
Brent Wallis. In my first post on Practical Model Design (website and newsletter), the design criteria/rules I was referring to had been left out. Here they are at last! http://web.archive.org/web/20071024121406/webpages.charter.net/rcfu/HelpsHints/ModDgn.html Brent Wallis
The VMAA Trophy Weekend is a great weekend to share with mates with friendly competition while participating in team events. Last year we had eight teams do battle with good weather to boot. The emphasis is on fair play and maximum fun. The VMAA Rules for many events make it fair for smaller clubs to have a go with a good chance of doing well against big clubs. You can enter up to 11 events with your best 6 counting towards your score. The trophy is over two days with certain events on each. The State Field offers on site camping, with motels and caravan parks near by. So to get your team together and start practicing. To do well you need to know what happens and how you can participate, here are the rules/conditions for the VMAA Trophy Weekend. Last year LDMFA competed in all events and won the Trophy. For photos from past trophies, take a look here http://bit.ly/eDOZhc and some video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Fq0Kl7TJ-M LDMFA has organised a team to compete again this year so if you can make it along to support your club or even volunteer as judge or time-keeper. The text below is an extract from the VMAA website http://bit.ly/elmZYr
The rules for 2012 can be downloaded here VMAA Tropy-2012.pdf http://bit.ly/wqlrSy All the other documents can be found here;
