Lars getting ready to fly.

The Master instructs young Nicolas.

Alex' new motoring piece. Good ground clearance, plenty of space inside, what more do you need.

One of the many uses for cyano.

Dave and Roger with Roger's Excell 2000 before its first flight.

JOMAC is still a good place for family outings.

New photos in the Rogues Gallery.

Here's something to get 2012 off to a good start...

The Christmas Eve Brigade.

At lunch time on Saturday a storm approached the field. Luckily it passed to the North.

The gentlemen (sic) of JOMAC.

A couple more shots of Alex and his electric Four Square.

Durban Deep Radio Flyers, wetting of new runway and get together

We went to DDRF by invitation for the "Wetting of the New Runway". Ted and his grandson went as well.

Here's a short clip of some of the DDRF helicopters.

 

Jon's Ju 87, getting ready for Oudtshoorn.

Discussing possible new locations for JOMAC.

Ken's Electric Omega.

Jon does not like ARTF aircraft. Someone once said, (I think it was Andrew), that he even dislikes ARTF tea. He prefers to brew up at the flying field.

Look at that low cloud...

...only the most optimistic of aeromodellers were at the field this morning -- Dave, Valter and...

...Alex.

AGM 2011

The committee from last year was re-elected unopposed. See rouges gallery in the links at the right of the page.
On another matter entirely, I was today wearing braces with a Union Jack pattern. This lead to several scornful remarks about the cricket. Perhaps people spoke too soon -- ha ha.

Here's a clip of Donovan's Wilga tug in action.

Steve has filled the wash-aways in the road with gravel.

Here's clip of Donovan filling in the holes on the glider field to allow safe aero tows: a real labour of love

The Scourge of the Skies, Alex' Fokker Eindecker...

...complete with a scale version of Max Immelmann, after whom the famous turn is named.

No Sunday would be complete without Colin, in characteristic pose.

Misty with patches of drizzle. Only the hardiest of aeromodellers were at the field this morning, (Dave and Valter). On the way out I passed Flemming coming in. By this time more than drizzle was coming down.

Peter working on the carb of his 50cc DL petrol engine.

Ted and Alex.

Charlie and Colin, the Two Wise Men, in serious conversation. But I don't think it was about model aircraft. As I recall it had to do with torque wrenches and BMW engines.

The charging daisy chain: lead / acid accumulator, charger, balancer, LiPo battery.
