Well Monday 15th was overcast rainy for a bit then turned out quiet nice.
Oh and this LIL OLE blog just passed 100,000 views Whoo Hoo.
The EM Team were out for a fly in the Doughy WX at the time.
Below only requiring a two man start crew.
Now here in Stratford we are pretty fussy about keeping our Pylons Clean and up to the Job.
Yeah a bit misty rainy by this point.

We don't have a fire truck for welcome squirt so we had a shower go through does the same thing.

Thursday 11th May was Egmont Modellers Club night and a couple neat machines turned up. Oh and the rain had abated back to drizzle.
Below EMC Prez Brian bought along the Skeeter nifty looking puppy which from memory has an ASP 12cc Reactor up front.
Yes that Green is pretty bright. One of those from back in the day Machines.
Harry boughty along a Seagul Z-Lin 50 very nice and there is no way you could build one fror what you can buy them for now.
Non of those three are Harry....
Harry on the left Gary on right discussing what tweaks required.
Doug & Ross inspecting one of Ross's Motors that ran well for years then one day seized mid flight.
Harry & Alister in background checking out the Skeeter.
Z-Lin 50 looking good in any direction.
Done.
This was WED 9th and wasn't to bad JLU getting some sun.
Mountain even poked it's nose out for a bit.
JLU away 09
LTH arriving 27.
Then boom off again 09.
Now a lot of RAIN from Late WED through Thursday & Friday.
Be real Careful as HEAPS STANDING WATER ABOUT.
The WX STN Camera showed multiple Puddles along the runway which had disappeared when I got down there but you can see the brown patches.
Thats Rwy-16 first tire to intersection.
Thats RWY-16 at intersection RWY-27 side.
Thats centre of intersection.
It is still extremely soft everywhere and there is still standing water all over the Aerodrome.
If you do venture out LAND REAL SLOW and TAXI even SLOWER.
Even if we get fine WX over weekend it will still be very soggy and unless the Southerly dries it out I suspect a good set of Floats be the go.
NOTAM has been issued.
