Note - The
Helicopter Bronze wings still went ahead today and three out of three
members got their wings in 15-20 knot winds.
Thanks to

One of our club members had a misfortune (or
skill) of landing his model near the top of the largest tree on the field. The model was safely retrieved thanks to David from "Down Under Tree Stump
Removals, phone 0411 667 034. There's a yellow card with this number on the
clubhouse notice board.
