Weather Station removed for upgrade
The Weather Station has been removed for an anemometer upgrade. The current low-tech reed switch anemometer is proving to be inaccurate in winds above 25kph. It will be replaced with a pulse-type anemometer, which should be more accurate. Moving the temperature and humidity sensors outside is also planned. On the plus-side, the communications link works well and the mobile phone data usage is much lower than expected.

Indoor Flying – May 15th
Hi everyone,
As some of you know I organise a monthly indoor flying sessoin for all people in the ACT and surrounds.
As I cant post to our club facebook page, I thought I should use the weekly forum to let you aknow that it is on this Sunday (15 May) starting at 4:30pm for a couple of hours.
We meet at the Tuggeranong Archery Club and fly in their hall which has an area of about 40m x 20m x 8m, and over the years have had all sorts of models come along, from small racing drones, RC Drift cars, Capacitor powered free flight, EDF jets, Helicopters and 3D aerobatic stuff.
There is really no limit on what people have come along with over the years, but we cant use internal combustion motors, but if you have one of the CO2 beauties we would love to see it, and models should wigh less than 300 grams.
Largest model we have had is a 30″ span biplane called the Gym Dandy though we dont see its owner much any more, the smallest, and 8gram home made 3D model that used to travel down from Yass.
Anyone is welcome, but we ask a $10 fee from pilots to help cover the hall hire.
Dave
