TEMAC Electric Funfly 2012, Sunday and Monday! Times 11:30 am until 5:00 pm each day. on Sun, 02 September 2012
in 2 days and 00:25 hours.
Duration: All-day event!
The funfly of the season is here! I already can't wait to see what and who shows!
Last years funfly was so fun I joined TEMAC and I bet this years will not disappoint.
So what are YOU bringing to the big boys play day?
Starts 10am.
Hotdogs and potato salad lunch.
It might be a bit windy, so I'm thinking of bringing some heavier and faster planes.
Maybe my Habu 32 too!
I know parking is going to be full but is there any chance that a spot at the end could be saved for the club washroom facilities on wheels?
We rented a porto!
But I need a spot for the big rig also! lol!
Wow don't read gregs post too fast! You rented a what? I I thought this was a family event?
:-)
Looks like I'll be a Monday-only attendee. I'm hitting an airshow party at a friends' place. See you Monday!
Oh a porto eh? Fancy this club is (with a Yoda accent). I will still make my facilities available as the "executive washroom". I figure I can call it that because it has a fan...
I'm looking forward to Monday. See you all there with the batteries charged.

Looking forward to seeing you Andre. I'm leaning towards Sunday and Monday now (too good to pass up). Are you coming down for Monday only?
Ben
Been going over things and doing some stuff around the house all day. Batteries all charged. Little touch ups on a couple planes all done. so you ask.. What am I going to bring? EVERYTHING! And if it's windy I'm STILL going to fly!
Wow! Today was fantastic!
Perfect weather, short cut grass and smooth field (lots of great takeoffs and landings), and terrific barbeque.
Lots and lots of pilots, and so many airplanes.
Memorable: Greg's quarter scale biplane, Hazelton brothers and Formula One -style racing, Ben and Ed super-fast race style flying, Spitfires in the air, lots of jets, lots of warbirds, and plenty of warm social interaction.
More tomorrow!
I was hoping to come tomorrow. haven't been to TEMAC in over 2 years. but I took out a parkflier yesterday and I still remember everything ;D and other than school and stuff I plan on flying more now. Just a question regards to how everything works now, Do I need to pay for a membership (read that juniors are free now? and im 15 so i dont know if that counts still) I can get my maac renewed today as well. just wondering if I would be allowed to fly?
MAX
Hi Max, you'd be allowed to fly without paying for the year's membership, but you need to have MAAC membership-insurance; there are no exceptions to that rule.
Amazing day today too!
I forgot to mention yesterday that Simon C brought out a 3-decade old model that he had built when he was 13 years old, and flew it for the first time!
On Monday there was also lots of activity, as well as raffles.
Owners/managers of Pinnacle Hobby and Great Hobbies came out, with Ron (of Pinnacle) flying in a spectacular WWI dogfight with Greg C.
Karl, president of the Keswick club came out to watch the fun and say hello to everyone. Rudy from Beeton came by and watched the fun too!
I was part of a 4-flyer-team flying coordinated laps and aerobatics with Spitfires, lead by one of TEMAC's founding members, Andre Wedseltoft. That was fun!
Frank and Jack flew a vintage model that had been converted from gas.
There were also coordinated Cubs in the air doing touch-n-goes and aerobatics.
I had a great time. Special thanks to Jack Higgins and Andy Hoffer who worked hard both days. Thanks also to the Hazeleton brothers who are are always smiling and helping everyone. Thanks to Greg C who is also so cheerful and helpful. Thanks to everyone!
Simon, we missed you today.
Who would've known that barbeque hotdogs and flying model airplanes went so well together! ;D
I'm exhausted...
What an amazing couple of days! I can't wait for next year's edition!
It was really fun! First time flying for real in almost 2 years, and it felt great. Hopefully I will be able to find more free time to come fly more often ;D
This club has such a great, positive atmosphere and everyone is so helpful its amazing,
Thanks to all who hosted this event, and to all the great people I met as well!
MAX
Max
Nice to have you at the field today. Glad you had fun.
What a weekend. I calculate that I flew over 2000 watt hours of flying over the two days. My back hurts :)
Fantastic weather, great turn-out without being overcrowded. Lots of people having a great time and it was great to meet all the people who came from far and wide.
Raffle draw was a total fix, but I'll give that a pass (just kidding).
Ben
I am sorry that Michalel didn't have a chance to see the 1/5 Moth do it's maiden after 20+ years! But it flew! There was a few mins at around 5 when the wind claimed right down.. it was now or never! lol! Thanks to Ken , Ron and Glen! It shall fly again! A little down thrust will help! lol!
I would like to thank the TEMAC executive for such a great event! Last year i came to this event and joined TEMAC. Need I say more? great people, great field and a collection of planes that gives everyone somthing to see and marvel.
Im tired and so are my Batteries thank goodness I can go to work for a few days to unwind!
BEETON .. .. WHOS IN??
Thanks to Everyone, without their support, I would have never had the guts to fly some of my bigger planes.. and wow I loved it! I hope you all have a chance to build something over the winter and get it out next fun fly! There were so many cool planes out there! Like they said.. I am exausted!
It was good to see old friends today. That was the best day of flying i have been able to enjoy all summer. Thanks TEMAC.
Andre
Thanks to all who organized! I had a great time both days even though I couldn't stay the whole time. Super job!

Thanks so much Ben. It was a great two days of shooting. Thanks to all the pilots and builders who gave me so much great eye candy to work with. I've added the photos from the first day of the Fun Fly at http://temac.ca/?p=1013. (http://temac.ca/?p=1013.)
Enjoy!

P.S. If anyone would like high-res copies of any of the images, just send me a personal message with a copy of the thumbnail photo (from the gallery) for each photo you'd like, along with your email address.

Wow!
Great photos!
Thanks to all our Sponsors, Supporters and members. Without any of you, it wouldn't be what it is.
So sad I missed the Monday! :(
