Where is HERH?

Title: Re: Indoor flying at HERH Wednesday evenings
Post by astroflyer on Oct 12^th, 2010 at 2:31pm

Hey Tony! Haven't seen you in a while.

Hants east is in Milford. Take the first exit to shubenacadie, go right off the exit down to the lights, (about 1/4 km or so). Then left about 100 yards....school is on the right.

If you've done it right, off the exit is the green highways depot, right from there to the lights. you will see the local co-op. left from there to the school.

come on out.

So Flying will be on the Tuesday for the first week back after the christmas break then we will resume back to Wednesdays...

here I am charging batteries and there's no flyin' - to quote ElEast - bummer :'(

I'm wondering if the little Hobby King pusher jet will fly in that site with a few mods, like enlarged elevons

Title: Re: Indoor flying at HERH Wednesday evenings
Post by astroflyer on Dec 1^st, 2010 at 6:51pm

almost anything can be flown there sandy...once! ;D

which jet? there were a couple in truro last year which were hard pressed in that large space.

BTW I have a delivery from james for you.

Hey guys... HERH is having a Christmas band concert tomorrow night, but I don't expect this will have any impact on our flight night with the exception the music and parking. This may become a bit tricky. But Wednesday night is a go. :)

On a different note, I would like to raise a topic of discussion regarding ways to improve flight night for all who attend. With the success of our indoor flying season and the variety of aircraft that people are bringing to the HERH gym. (Ultra Micros, Helis, Flylites, Pie Plates, 3D Foamies etc etc) I feel it would be a great idea if we were to collectively designate times for different types of aircraft during the evening as time is limited at our site? This could be done informally or formally (based on comfort level) as we want to keep this fun. I feel this would not only be respectful to all pilots time in the air, but will keep a lot more aircraft safe to fly another day. (Foam safe CA can only fix so much)

I’m not sure if this is an issue or is even necessary to discuss, however any ideas or suggestions on how to keep what I feel is a successful indoor flying season enjoyable for all would be welcomed.

Have a Merry Christmas and hope Santa brings you many new toys to show off at flight night.

Reminder that flying will resume on January 4th (That’s a Tuesday) Regular flight nights will still be Wednesday evenings based on availability of the gym.

Thanks
Shawn M

Pepper woke me about 8am this morning for our pee. looked outside and our neighbors had just finished my driveway. GOD BLESS 'EM!!

a couple of times last month I cleared the small amount the plow had left in their driveway, in fact three driveways on our cul de sac, and it seems they must have been pleasantly pleased. As I was this AM. great neighbours!
