The roof goes on our structure at the patch tomorrow. That means with the use of some plastic sheets or the side panels from our marquees, we'll have a place to store models overnight at the jet meet! We probably will put some more permanent sides on at some point but doubt they'll be done before the jet meet.

The roof is complete!!!

Weather good today - me dad had 2 good flights with euro. Wind bit chilly but agood day for a sun tan

Jamie C

Glad to hear that there is going to be some storage, my awning is not big enoiugh to keep models in. I was looking into getting a bigger one . . . . .do not cost much do they????

Hi Greg
Is the roof sloping the right way?
Is there a reason its not sloping to the back?
Just a thought.

3dean

it was sloping back, but was moved to slope forward, decided on the day ?

vease

The decisions were not made by me but there are reasons. I left it to the construction experts. Something to do with the normal wind direction.

If its pouring with rain though..........you won't be there anyway

Guys, this is not the place for this discussion [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

Cheers

Gregg can you let everyone know



JETS OVER RAYDON CANCELLED

We have recently received noise complaints about jet flying at Raydon and to protect our own flying field i have no option but to cancel the jets over raydon meeting.I aplogise for this but it was a decision by all of the jet pilots who were to be invovled in running this meeting that we do not create any more problems for ourselves.

DAVID WILDE

Hi Gregg,

Hi Greg,
We flew the horten this morning bit of a problem with the lateral control especially when you wanted to turn right it did not want to. We could not retract the gear so this gave us extra problems .As our normal approach is right hand i had to elect to do a left hand downwind landing but managed to get it down in one piece.

DAVE check the horten forum

Nice Scheme Mark.

I'm a big F1 fan myself!

sir crashallot

hmmm noise problems with the field, we had a simular preoblem our field is 2 miles away all the way around from any houses and ontop we are in between 2 factorys. yet the public reckon the can here our planes during the day and we dont fly jets at our field. i would not be bothered one bit being woken in the mornings with the sound of rc turbines or even the glow motors. what really $%%$s me off is being woken up by the police hellicopter 60 ft above my house at 2 am for an hour so wheres the sound limits and so forth there, and also dustbin men as they come round here at 7 am and boy they dont no how to be bloody quiet.

regarding the noise complaints,

have you tried to call a meeting with the residents who are complaining as they really dont no how complex these things are and they dont realise a good field or strip is very very hard to find, maybee if you flying club was to come together with the comunity with the matter you could come to some arrangements on time limits for flying such as 2pm while 5 pm on a sat and sun. (for the jets of coarse) also offer out a free flight of a trainer for there kids. once you get there kids hooked on this hobby you will end up geting there dads hooked. once there hooked less people to complain

BaldEagel

Do you rearly think the local residents care how complex the aircraft is, if anything this will make them more nervours of them flying close to their house, I also think they will not care how difficult it is to find a field, they just don't want it in their back yard.

I used to be responsible for some very large construction projects and found that often a Cheese and Wine get together to allow people to disscuss their concerns went a long way to bringing the local community on board, but be prepared for hostile intent from some and have your best club diplomats on hand, don't tell them how complicated everything is, just how safe it all is and that you will bend to an agreed formatt.

Just my experience over 40 years of dealing with hostile groups.
