General Discussion / Work at TEMAC
Last post by davidk - July 06, 2025, 11:30:42 AM
There will be some work done at TEMAC on Tuesday July 8, 2025 at 10am.  I don't think this will impact any flying.

There is a small patch of ground (the old RC car track) to the southwest of our field, in line with the pits and bordered by the parking area.  This patch is weedy and uneven.  We'd taken steps to remove the weeds last year but the ground was too uneven to mow.  On Tuesday we're going to attempt to level this patch so it can be seeded and cut.

Also, the driveway may be levelled to some degree.

Thanks, David.

Great day with about a dozen members flying.
Light wind, lots of sunshine, lots of flying.

Friday photo report:
19- Michael's jets.
21- David straightening the scarf on the pilot.
22- Michael Albatross
26- Michael and David hand-launching their jets.
28- David off to the races.  Notice the altitude it has gained in about 2 feet of forward flight.

According to the instructions, the battery tray may be installed forward or rearward of where indicated, in order to achieve proper balance with a battery pack. It looks like I'll have to move the tray forward by a few inches.

Other than that, basic assembly/construction is finished. Wiring, radio, stabilization, etc. installation, fine-tuning and programming is next, and maybe a bit of decoration before a maiden flight.

FMS 70mm fand installed; proper rotation (wiring) tested prior. Again, precise fit.

Flight Instruction / Re: Training Wednesday July 2-...

Weird evening.  It always threatened to rain but never did.  Ten raindrops.  I checked at home- at Yonge and Eglinton it poured buckets for about 10 minutes at 5 pm.  Nothing at Rogo Field.
Thanks to Paul and Mark for continuing to tear out their hair out to get Spektrum transmitters to talk to each other.

Photo report:
04- New member Nick passed his check flight and is now a full flying member.
06- How many people does it take to screw in a wing on an AeroScout?
08- New member Kirk had 3 or 4 more flights today.  He is doing well.
11- New member Alex got in a few flights on the Club's AeroScout.  This model was generously donated by ex-member Alan Lofft who moved from his apartment into a retirement home on July 1.  He had to get rid of his model collection and donated everything to the training program.
12- Paul discussing with Mark on how to get Spektrum transmitters to talk to each other.  Conclusion- they don't and never will.  Thanks for the effort.
13- returning member Massoud dropped by.  He did not fly last year.

Also, thanks to Instructor George for his help tonight.

Not on your list but maybe something to consider being it's a standout one of a kind model. You could be squadron leader over all the other T-33s at Temac. Happy Flying/Mike.
