Default G'day from Australia

Glad to be a part of the Flying Giants.
Fly just north of Sydney at the Manning Model Aero Club, Wingham NSW.
Have Just purchased a new OTOP pattern, fitting it out with the new YS110S.
Looking forward to joining the forums from time to time.

Cheers Greg

Yea Jack, We fly all year round, I fly at least twice a week, and so do my boys in Sydney and Newcastle, Weather is usually not an issue.
The Warialda fun fly is at the towns local airstrip [nice hard runway] its a crazy weekend seems anything goes and all the funds raised go to the Westpack Rescue Helicopter service.
Cheers Greg

Welcome guys to the GREATEST web site on earth, glad to have all of you in the FG family. I just have to put in my .02 worth in. I spent two weeks in Australia back in 1968. The people down there are the best people I have ever met. I mean that with all my heart and soul. I was at a R-R hotel after spending 2 years in Viet Nam. Since then I have never been to another country that has so many friendly people in one place at one time. Good to have you guys aboard and good flying to all of you.

Larry

Good on you Larry.
Thanks for the kind words about OZ, Beleive me I remember those days in Sydney with the R and R boys from Vietnam,
Also have spent alot of time in the US over the years.
I can honestly say the same about the people in your country, OZ and the US have stuck together thru thick and thin, good and bad, so lets hope it stays that way, now lets go flien mate!.
Cheers greg
