General Discussion / .. due to unpopular demand, .....
Last post by Michael - October 18, 2024, 10:48:53 PM
We will not have an Annual General Meeting this year. Elections are not scheduled for this year anyway.

Since Covid, there has been very little interest in any meetings or in club business. It seems everyone just wants to have fun flying.

If anyone has an issue they would like to address, please put it forward in this thread.

(We will formally have an AGM in 2025.)

The weather looks great so we have to finish off our inventory of hotdogs. We have 30 hotdogs, so, it's first come - first served, for our TEMAC members! BBQ hotdogs starting at 1pm this Sunday.

Come have a fun day at TEMAC this Sunday, Oct. 20, 2024.

Have the Monday 2 pm appointment on my calendar.
Paul is in charge of the weather again.  He has done a great job so far.

Quote from: Andy Hoffer on October 16, 2024, 02:25:12 PMHey @GuyOReilly ,
Galatea is looking really fine.  I love you scratch built epoxy drop sheet!
Looking forward to "sparring" with Galatea with my Robbe Gemini hydroplane!!!
Andy


@Andy Hoffer :
The drop sheet is actually the wax paper from a cereal box.
Neither epoxy nor glue stick to it.  Great as a drop sheet for painting too.
Galatea will be too precious to do any kind of "sparring", at least in the beginning.

So that means I will have to give chase! Looking forward to it!

Repairs completed, paint done, although there are a few smears and running below the masking tape :-( 
I will bring it next Monday for a test of the rigging which is not as smooth as I would like.

Quote from: Frank v B on October 14, 2024, 06:23:11 PMNo foul weather gear required.  Beautiful sunny day.  Good winds for sailing. Not a drop of rain.
Temac reps were Guy, Paul and his wife Lorraine and myself.  Two hours of sunshine, swirly winds (at least there was wind!!), lots of people dropping by to ask questions....
and no Andy. ;)


My camera did not work so Paul, Lorraine and Guy were spared.

Hey @Frank v B ,

What's the latest on your windshield washer pump bow thruster?

Is it the same design as your pool pump plumbing loss of containment?!!!
