Hello All:
I am having no luck logging onto the temac site and was wondering if I could still register to fly at the temac Funfly this weekend?
Thank You..
Also interested in pre registration.
I got on the temac site just now and sent an E-mail to Michael. I hope I am still able to register and fly. I have been keen to get to the TEMAC field and will come up as a spectator if I can't fly. I hope there is good weather and you chaps have a great event.
No problem. I'll consider you both as having pre-registered.

Thank You Jack. Is this Jack from AJ's Hobbies? I will try to drag Eric Dizenbach along too. He and I were going to Goderich to fly his turbine this weekend, but, the tragic situation there moves model airplane events way down the list of priorities. I hope to see you this weekend.
Best Regards
Bob.
No it's Jack Higgins from TEMAC TICKLER Fame.
Can I register too?- I'd love to come up for one day of the weekend and see you guys.
Tom
Of course Tom, but you have to bring your latest and greatest. I promise much better weather than last year.
Jack.
OK!!, Thanks to you Mr. Higgins. I have enjoyed receiving the Ticklers, since they are good at keeping you abreast of happenings at the field. I look forward to the weekend and to joining up with POGO. He is mostly to blame for my conversion to electric, particularly for the EDF segment which I have enjoyed a lot.
Best Regards
Bob Byrnes
Terrific Jack- thanks! My latest build ended it's life as a burning pile of fiberglass (much to my chagrin) http://www.rccanada.ca/rccforum/showthread.php?t=111730&highlight=BANSHEE&page=4

I have, though, just acquired an ARF that's pretty cool, I think you'll all like it (hint: think of quite a few more than 1 propeller).
Tom
Can't wait. I've pencilled you in for both days.
Jack.
Every one ready for the funfly?
If anyone needs power I will be bringing a generator and will have 110 and 12 available.
Planes are already loaded.

had a great day that was unfortunatly "cut" short by an accident.. radio fell forward advancing the throttle to full and i tried to block the plane with my foot.. just a reminder people these thing as we know are dangerous. had I worn proper shoes I would have had a better chance against the 11X5.5APC-E. Seven stitches is a good reminder for me..
Ouch! Too bad that had to happen.
It was a great day of flying though. So many airplanes, and lots of fun. The formosa racing was my personal highlight followed closely by watching the me109 shoot down a spitfire.
Thanks to Jack and all the other TEMAC members who put on a really great fun fly.
BIG thanks to Jack Higgins for all the work put into our funfly, easily our most successful to date.
Here, here! Great days. Thanks to Jack, Michael and all helpers.
Jeff, the (name I gave to the little painted) Spitfire pilot who got shot down had confidence issues this morning and crashed on take-off!
Here is a screen capture taken from my key-cam yesterday!
Thanks to TEMAC!
Another couple of pictures from my aerial key cam - can you see yourself?
Last shot from the air, from me.........
Just wanted to thank all you TEMAC guys (and especially Jack) for a great day yesterday- I really enjoyed it. :) ;)
Tom
Had a great time at the funfly! heck if I had to get the stitches to attend I would probibly go through wih it!!
fun, great people, well organized and even good weather! what more could we have asked for?
Thanks TEMAC!
now i need to make 10-15 copys of the award i recieved saturday so i can put one in every room!
This weekend's funfly was terrific.. both days. Thanks to Michael and Jack. The food was great.
Thanks to the Gregs and the Shims for helping me find the Leader 480 hatch and Simon for the absolutely accurate GPS guidance to the spot. Note- E-flite hatches are a problem. I have had them blow off my Pogo (on maiden) , Beaver, Leader 480 and Taylorcraft 450. The magnets are not strong enough. I put a strip of tape on the POGO, Beaver and Taylorcraft. I will screw down the leading edge of the Leader 480 hatch. Lesson learned.
Ken Wilton will probably say the hatch didn't blow off, the hatch rejected the airplane. hah!

Good People, Good Fun, Good hospitality, Good breeze :)
Great Day
Ken
Thanks to Jack and Michael and all the volounteers!
It was a great event!!
Glenn ;)
Thank you all for the kind words. When you see a volunteer say something nice to them. They made it all work. Organizing an event like this for such a great group of friends is a pleasure.
Don't forget we are having a Mini Fun Fly for EDF's on Sunday the 4th.
Jack.
Thanks to all who put on this great event (my first Temac funfly), it was also special treat to see the rifle zipping around at 140mph+ :o
although the funfly was teriffic i did find a couple things it was missing.....
Jeez if we had that we wouldn't get any flying done, and if you crash - you probably wouldnt even care.
Yeh! I bet he took his eye of his model to look at the other two models and see what happened. Could you imagine how much you would find of your rifle you if you took your eye of it for a second????
jack.
I would like to add my Thanks for a terrific day of flying. TEMAC is a wonderful host.
