HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Flying is now back to normal, post Covid restrictions, with excellent turnouts during the post Christmas holidays in particular.

JANUARY 2022

PLANE OF THE MONTH

David B's superb (ex Lee), large scale Seagull Extra 330. 2080mm span, powered by PTE50i petrol engine. A fast highly aerobatic performer which Dave flies to the maximum!

LARRY passed his Silver Wings test quite some time ago, but only recently was presented with his Wing badge, by instructor Paul S; who also took the opportunity to knight him with the Order of the Carbon Prop in recognition of his patience!

MICHAEL F has now made his first solo flights following training by Dennis. Just a bit more practice and he may soon be ready to take his Silver Wings test?

GUNTER is finally starting to fit cowls to his planes! Here is the new timber half cowl that he has now fitted to his Lazy Ace biplane.

PRESIDENT MIKE gets stuck into some dirt raking to improve the pit area!

DEREK replaced his crashed nitro Scanner with a new one. Then decided to rebuild the wrecked one with electric power, and as a tail dragger. Which is better? Time will tell!

GARY Is terrorizing the field with this UFO. Actually a HK foamy flying fish. Believe it or not it actually flies very well!

GUNTER takes his Lazy Ace for a stroll back down the field.

PETE M picked up this used Boomerang 60 from RC Trader. After a few repairs and mods it is, as expected, an excellent performer.

MICHAEL F is thrilled with the performance of this new HK Yak, which was maidened for him by Dennis recently.

LARRY is now flying this new scratch designed and built low winger. Fast and nimble, but it can be a bit hard to see in its army camouflage colours!

AGM -SUNDAY NOV 21st 2021

It was cold windy, and wet, but that did not deter almost twenty CCMAC members from sheltering in the Clubhouse for an egg and bacon breakfast BBQ, followed by the Covid delayed AGM.

It seems the Club is in good financial health, and running very smoothly under the new committee, which was confirmed today.

Outgoing Treasurer, Arthur was thanked for his efficiency in looking after club finances for several years.
