: Re: Outdoor Flying 2014 : woodchopper April 16, 2014, 02:23:03 AM Hey I was out at the field last weekend, see link below, things looked good!
http://ercha.ca/forum/index.php?topic=400.0 (http://ercha.ca/forum/index.php?topic=400.0) The road will be weather dependent for the next few weeks, it was solid but a lot of snow rain could change that. The dirt under the mats was soft but usable, watch for lifted staples that could hook skids and such. Cheers Mark : Re: Outdoor Flying 2014 : PassinThru April 22, 2014, 02:20:17 AM Good to know. Thanks Mark.
I have paid for my 2014 MAAC membership and expect to get that in the mail soon. There was mention of a meeting coming up where members could renew their ERCHA memberships. Otherwise I can mail cheque to you? In the meantime, may I assume that it's okay for me to fly at the club field? Thomas : Re: Outdoor Flying 2014 : woodchopper April 23, 2014, 01:39:39 AM Hey Thomas
PM sent Mark : Re: Outdoor Flying 2014 : PassinThru May 08, 2014, 10:16:05 PM Well it's 15 deg C at 4:15 p.m. and if no one is out at the field this evening, I'll assume it's because of death as the deadline for taxes has passed.
: Re: Outdoor Flying 2014 : PassinThru May 19, 2014, 05:02:36 PM It's a sunny and warm holiday Monday. I think I'll be going flyin' this afternoon or early evening. Looking forward to trying out my Skookum GPS on my Logo 600.
: Re: Outdoor Flying 2014 : PassinThru May 20, 2014, 03:06:30 AM Not a good evening.
Had forgotten to re-install bottom shaft bolt. Lost collective control after flipping. Lightly crashed X5 inverted. No obvious damage, but I'm sure there's some. Logo 600: managed to fly well into 3rd pack, then let it get too close to me and crashed hard. Forgot to hit soft deck feature that I had to turn off earlier because it wasn't allowing me to flip and roll. Main blades shot, main links bent and popped; landing gear ejected with obvious damage. Will go over bird more carefully after "licking my wounds". Thomas : Re: Outdoor Flying 2014 : PassinThru July 14, 2014, 04:56:45 AM July 13, 2014:
Conditions: Sunny, temp around 26, very light east wind, grass freshly cut, no mosquitoes to speak of. Gate locked and nobody flying while I was there, from around 5:30-8:00 pm. Surprised at the lack of flying considering the time and conditions, and a waste of a very valuable resource for bigger heli pilots in the Edmonton area. Oh well, I enjoyed the flying space. : Re: Outdoor Flying 2014 : Freeskiken July 20, 2014, 09:23:11 AM Sorry gone to Maui !
