Please reply to this subject posted on the General Discussion area on the forum if you are planning to attend to give us an idea of how much food to supply.
Cheers, your executive, Michael, Dave, Mark and Rob.

Hi Everyone. Further to Michaels post regarding Sunday the 27th bbq, Paul Hepworth will be putting on a flying demonstration. For anyone who has wittnessed Paul fly I need say no more. If you haven't, you are in for a treat from a World Class aerobatic pilot. We have quite a few raffle prizes, kindly donated by AJ Hobbies, Greathobbies, Pinnacle Hobbies and John's hobbies. There is no competition, we are simply getting together for a bbq, some laughs with friends and a some flying. In order to be entered in the raffle, all that is required is a flight, regardless of duration. Also, please bring anything you would like to sell in a kind of unofficial swap meet.
We look forward to a fun day. Hope to see as many of you as possible
So far, no auction.
Overall, there is no agenda; just fly and have fun.
Two for me please.
I will attend.
Karl
RC junk from my trunk
I will be bringing some planes and stuff to sell or just give away at lunch-time.
If you have some stuff to sell, please place it inside the wire fence with a price tag on a Post-it note on the item(s).
If you have just a few items, leave your trunk open with a price tag on the items. I will bring Post-It notes and magic markers if you need.
Frank
Andy- please do not place $5.00 price tags on the planes I am flying that day! ;D
The administration may decide to place "for sale" items together near the tall grass at the south end if the day gets busy. A game-day decision.
Can't wait!!! ;D
Just a reminder to everyone about Sunday. We have many items donated by local hobby shops. Johns Hobbies, Great Hobbies, Pinnacle Hobbies and A J Hobbies. No competition, just a nice day of flying, a bbq and fun with friends. To be entered in the raffle all that is required is for a flight, regardless of duration.
Thanks - I am hoping to attend - 2 hot dogs please.
Paul S
I would love to join in the festivities; however, I will be flying the "real thing" on Sunday.
Perhaps I will fly overhead, depending on flight plan.
Have a great time!
Guy
Many thanks to the organizers! And kudos for the superb weather forecast. 8)
I would like to sign up for 1 hot dog please.
Cheers,
Andy Hoffer

Would my flight over the field at 2,000 feet in a Cessna A150M count?
Guy
Guy,
re: your "Would my flight over the field at 2,000 feet in a Cessna A150M count?"
Only if it were electric. Otherwise you are SOL.
Hope you had a good flight.
Frank
Thank you for organizing such a wonderful activity.
Photo report:
42- Frank and Chris from Beeton wondering who should fly first.
43- Rudie and Rick from the Beeton club visited us for the day. Perfect guests. Oh, they know how to fly well..as well.
44- What do two retired computer sales people talk about? .... people they know. Mark from Temac and Rudie from Beeton.
47- Michael calling the world's shortest Pilot's Meeting.
49- Paul Scuse and his wife.
50- Paul Hepworth flying
51- his Bronco. Huge.
60- more Bronco
85- is that big enough? (50 lbs!)
88- Peter with his new plane. It flew well...in Peter's hands.
91- Rob D. and Greg commenting (scoring?) the flying.
92- Greg scoring a dog.
97- Glenn, Simon and Dave before their Lancaster flight.
01- Our guest Paul Hepworth took out time to spot for Temac junior member Issy.
What an excellent day, perfect weather, and great fun and flying.
Thank goodness Peter macheted his way through the Pilot Station jungles... Paul's beautiful Bronco handled the remaining rough with ease.
More photos:
03- Paul Hepworth's aerobatic plane...with my Guillow's Streak on the nose (180 on 2 cells).
06 David loves his dogs well done. He doesn't order them "rare", "medium rare" or "well done". He orders them "first, second or third degree burns".
08- Oscar setting up his spy plane.
10- Oscar ready for a day at the office- setting up his pilot station with the correct control yoke (aileron and elevator), rudder pedals and throttle as in a real plane.
11- Oscar conscripted a sketchy co-pilot. The backup transmitter was for safety just in case something went wrong..so it would be my fault. ;)
13- Paul and Rob drawing the winners of the gift certificates and prizes donated by Pinnacle, A&J, GreatHobbies and John's Hobbies.
16- Dave won the 7 channel Spektrum receiver with satellite courtesy of John's Hobbies.
19- Paul just before the maiden of his new Pitts. Flew beautifully.

This BBQ was a great time, and great weather.
Thanks to the Beeton fellows, who showed me how a Twisted Hobbys Veloxity is supposed to fly ;D
It was awesome to see Paul H. fly his Bronco, and his large 3D plane with the tail an inch (if that) off the landing strip.
Also thanks to all the TEMAC members who came out, and made it such a fun day!
