If that forecast E to ENE wind comes in as solidly as Seabreeze predicts, I'll be in the car on the way to Maleny before lunch on Sunday. Maybe some F3F if we can get enough keen guys. Maybe DS will work at the gate at the Knob. The possibilities are endless. Well, maybe not endless, but certainly more numerous than during other recent history in SEQ.

I believe I have Sunday off, I'll book a trip to the hill if that's so. F3F will be good F3B tuning.

Sounds good Brian! We might have a few takers! Looking forward to seeing you. I'll be the one lugging planes, F3F gear, radar, video, notebook, 5 minute epoxy, coffee plunger .....

Just got back from Camperdown, had a great time. I'll be keen for some flying this weekend especially if that change comes through.

Keen for a fly as well this weekend. anyone going over to BR let us know as I want to try bungee otherwise may see if I can convince the wife and kids to go for a drive up to brandenberg Rd on Sunday or MT Mee if the wind suits.

Well I'm feeling sad! Seabreeze's forecast for the SE change has shifted back a day! And I have to work on Monday. Hope they're wrong and it comes early!
BOM"s marine forecast is for ENE 20-25kts on Sunday arvo but that's on the bay - may not be as good inland.
I've been getting closer to having the much repaired Wizard Compact back to airworthy condition. Not sure if I can have it ready for this weekend but there's a re-maiden coming up soon. It's gonna need some solid lift as it's going to be a heavy mutha. Specially with its new additional stainless steel wing joiner!
