Our activity is so weather-dependent and the weather is so changeable, that our flying sessions are usually planned on pretty short notice.

If you'd like to have some company when you fly, you can easily start a flying session by scrolling to the bottom of this page and clicking on "Leave a reply" to this Topic. Just indicate the day, and time that you intend to arrive at the field, and invite other members to join you.

Or, you can "Leave a reply" to accept another person's invitation to form a flying session. People intending to join in should post a Reply, because multiple Replies fuel additional interest.

To "Leave a reply", you will need log in to the Message Board using the username and password that were issued to you. If you've lost them, you can use the lost your password functionality to trigger a password reset - if you do not see a response within a few minutes, be sure to check your Junk/SPAM folder for the password reset email.

If you are not able to complete a reset because your registered email address is not current you can either register with a new username OR Contact our Website Administrator Tim Glover <tglover51@hotmail.com> for additional assistance.

Note that new registrations require manual administrative review so there may be an additional delay if you choose this option.

Going to Springvale, but will call in at Hwy 6 on the way home if there is anyone still there.

UPDATE: Sunday now looking great for Hwy 6. That's my current plan.

At the moment there is a big discrepancy between the Weather Network and Windfinder for the wind gusts at both Hwy 6 and Westover this weekend. The WN shows much higher gusts than Windfinder. I'll keep an eye on it but most favourable at the moment looks like Westover on Sunday around noon. 18-27 kph due south. Plans may change with the forecast. My experience is the WN is more reliable than Windfinder.

UPDATE 1:40 pm Saturday:
For Sunday, the Weather Network: 12-23 kph, max gusts noon to 2 pm.
Windfinder: 17-30 kph max gusts at 10 am, dropping to 22 and lower from noon onwards.
My experience is the Weather Network is more reliable. We are on for Sunday.

The season opener has been moved to Sunday June 5. The forecast for Saturday is too windy. I will update to confirm on Saturday.

Update:
The weather forecast for tomorrow still looks reasonable so I am planning on heading to the field as planned!

Cheers!

Evening:
I was checking Wind & Waves and they are predicting a pretty low wind, decent weather day on Wednesday for Hwy 6. The weather predictions have been notoriously inaccurate of late, so I'll check and post an update late Tuesday evening. If the prediction holds, I will arrive around 9:30 am.

Hope to see you there!

Cheers!
Lyle
