Folks
Most of you will remember Simon Press, his wonderful aircraft and precision flying...well, he's surfaced a little way inland, and here's what he has to say:
"...I am now in Tamworth and we are developing our brand new field at Somerton, half way between Tamworth and Lake Keepit! Check out our website at http://www.tarmac.org.au If you head up this way to go soaring, we have ample room, good thermals, and a tug for up to 2400mm gliders!"
Thanks Simon - fantastic looking field! |

Looks like an RC pilot has caused some trouble at Long Reef. Here's a link to the Manly Daily article:

Mike Minty drew my attention to an extraordinary flight sequence from the tournament of champions. Below is the link to the RC Universe page and if you scroll down you will see the links to the videos. I watched the semi final freestyle routine by R J Gritter which had him pointing the aircraft nose down, reversing thrust before touching the ground and climbing - backwards - under full control. Sadly my latest (and, for the time being, late) biplane was not able to complete the latter part of this particular move...
Here's the link - be prepared to spend a few minutes, or hours, in awe!

Friday did not bode well! Saturday dawned bright in Balmain and a flurry of texts and phone calls showed it looked OK, even if not perfect, at Belrose. Among the texts was one from Mark Connor saying there was a “thick dog” where he was. So the Biplane Day was on and people headed to the field to find Ron Clark (“it was sunny half and hour ago”) and lowering clouds …… and boy did they lower!...click the read more button to see the full article
