BrendAn Posted September 28 Posted September 28 Did a couple of hours of circuits today. A bit windy to travel in the xair. Good fun getting touchdowns down to 30 knots though. 14
RFguy Posted October 5 Posted October 5 (edited) In PA28, flew down to Tumut region from Cowra then landed at Tumut to see how the runway refurb - rebuild works are going. landing on the currently gravel strip, that's fine. hotmix seal work begins Monday. taxiways and apron all new hotmix, needs some sweeping/ finishing. had a chat with a couple of old guy locals doing their maintenance (hour maintenance / hour of flying etc) The airport cat Percy was not to be seen. Ate my packed lunch. Verified fuel usage by dipping. walked the length of the grass to check for ruts etc. departed on the grass with flaps 25 (I only need 300m at 20 deg C) good thermals yesterday. climbed hard toward the SE toward Talbingo over Blowering Dam. did a 4 minute climbing turn to get enough altitute as not the sh1t myself over the large body of water surrounded by steep sides... even at 4000' over the water, felt like I needed more. Got over Talbingo to take a picture of a friends house, not liking the look of the hills to the east without ALOT more altitude, turned home at 6500 then 9500. 135 kts ground at 27-28 lph. nice tailwind. Very few aircraft in the air for such a super nice day. Edited October 5 by RFguy 7

Blueadventures Posted Friday at 01:15 AM Posted Friday at 01:15 AM (edited) Weather up here is starting to heat up and getting a few storms. It’s early in the season but getting build up. Went to fly Wednesday and DI’d engine and opened hangar doors. Mate next door offered a cuppa so over I went and caught up how his auto pilot and new screen is progressing at Foxbat. Weather changed a bit and did not fly. Thursday was a bit kinder with only a few light showers but low cloud. Did a full DI and took off cloud base at just over 1200 ft and local flight school doing circuits at next airfield 10 miles away. Radioed my departure and intentions. Found 1500 ft cloud base to west and one big blue hole was further to west. Returned to home and gave the Nynja a wash in the rain. Nice fly overall. Edited Friday at 01:27 AM by Blueadventures 8 1
Blueadventures Posted Sunday at 02:59 AM Posted Sunday at 02:59 AM (edited) Nice morning at the beach catching up with flying friends. Summer is on the way so below the clouds has thermals starting by mid morning. Nice and cool under the tree canopy at the beach. Sand was hard and smooth a top landing strip.
