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?

Gregor77 · August 31, 2012, 07:08:47 PM

We rented a porto!

But I need a spot for the big rig also! lol!

Looks like I'll be a Monday-only attendee. I'm hitting an airshow party at a friends' place. See you Monday!

Ededge2002 · August 31, 2012, 08:25:17 PM

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?

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!

Michael · September 02, 2012, 05:11:20 PM

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

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

Michael · September 02, 2012, 10:00:20 PM

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!

I'm exhausted...

What an amazing couple of days! I can't wait for next year's edition!
