It is not hard to guess that this EFlite Draco has firmly become Gunter's favourite plane now being his most frequent flyer!
Frank (right) is a friend of long time member Darren (left). He has joined as an Associate, having previously flown at Maitland. He will now concentrate on gaining Club Wings with CCMAC.
This trio of experienced flyers seemed to be wondering why this Cub gasser could not get off the ground?
Guy looks pleased with his self built engine test rig which he specially built for his brand new RCGF 15cc gasser. It si rumoured that the engine is destined for a large size Hawker Hurricane. Interesting!
"RC JIM" YOU TUBE CHANNEL
New(ish) CCMAC member Jim M has built up an excellent new You Tube channel called "RC Jim". On this are a number of videos he has shot of some of the flying action at the Club. in addition he has produced a couple of videos for exclusive use by us.
Additionally Jim is producing a series of how to RC videos aimed at explaining many of the technicalities of RC flying to encourage new flyers to enter the hobby. His latest video is comprehensive explanation of the mysteries of electric planes. The next production could be a comparison of the advantages/disadvantages of electric versus I.C. Could be contraversial amongst experienced flyers?
UNUSUAL VISITOR TO FIELD
There is plenty of wild life in the bush around the Club, and it usually stays there. But, on a recent Saturday curiosity got the better of a huge roo, and he could not resist coming right on to the field to take a closer look at some impressive flying!
Longtime I.C. diehard Maurie has recently taken a surprising step into electrics with this impressive large scale Turbo Beaver.
MONTHLY MAIDENS
Doug is now flying this very nice electric powered Mentor.
Paul L maidened a very nice new electric scale Seagull Cherokee, 1500mm span
Des finally got round to maidening his scratch built Stick which he "found" in his workshop. Nice looking covering and self made decals!
