Busy day on Sunday with 19 launches according to flight sheet. Airforce cadets were flying. Very windy day.
No flying appears to have happened on Monday - our Qld visitor for the week became ill and went home. But Dave Turner and Gerhard were at the club. Dave was doing the Form 2 inspection on the hornet GMZ.
On Tuesday I flew back from Cowra, arriving at about 11.30. Dave and Gerhard wanted to fly, and had got the tug out and hooked the rope on. All I had to do was the DI, hop in it and tow them up. That was good - thank you.
Conditions were good with cumulus at about 8000ft, however the day blued out later on. Gerhard flew for about five hours!
Wednesday Dave went home. Geoff Neely came out and flew the DG 400. Conditions were blue, and not all that strong, but Geoff flew out west of Gunnedah. Gerhard not keen to fly in the blue, but adjusted the trim on the Junior, for which many thanks. Vic came out with his motorcycle gang and showed them around, but they couldn't be induced to fly.
John Trezise and Allan Buttenshaw turned up later in the afternoon. John and I washed and polished the Junior - it looks really good now - all taped up and ready for another test flight.
Plenty of tug flying tomorrow I think. Looks as if we will have quite a lively long weekend.
