today was the first official start of Natfly 2010, after a big clean up in the hanger we went for a walk around the aerodrome, Wow was the first ting that come to mind, the activity was awesome from the head of the council swinging a sledge hammer to hooking up with Mr Brumby Paul Goard from Brumby Aircraft
Back to the hanger to finish the big clean up and then back down for the afternoon look and to see what is happening. First person I run into was Big Ross Gosby form Avia Cam, with a awesome display with his CNC work " The guy to see for this " This comes Captain Recommend. let me tell you that this recommendation don't come lightly. Man does he do some nice work.

Bit more of a walk round and back to the hanger for afternoon beers with a couple of the neighbors.
Sorry no pic there tomorrow.

For a long time i used Blogger but i think its about time The Captain moved on to Word Press, this has been a big decision and not taken lightly as this would mean some major changes on 3 different web sites (Upside down websites, Temora Computers & Captain Kaos) Still not sure of the final out come but will be good and better for me to update and better for the followers.
Be ready for changes

This weekend I got a lot of work done, huge clean up in the hanger getting ready for the big flying next weekend. Also the fuse was painted (A big thanks to Simon), next is to paint some flooring and some side panels, "I hate paint " IT SUCKS.

Big thanks to Simon for splashing some paint on, what a great job he does. I can tell you from the prep side its a lot of work, i have spent hours prepping all of the parts, only got a few painted today do to another job he has, so i just fit in where i can and as its just primer, it works in well.
Piss poor prep , is piss poor finish. worth the time spent

Tony dropped in last nigh on way back to Tamworth, running a
bit behind on time, he stayed for dinner and flew back to work
at 7am in the morning. Tony had be doing an Airshow display
for Allianz down in South Australia.

Yesterday, a trip to Wagga to buy some paint to prime the whole plane
a week of sanding then paint is on the card very soon.
Photos soon when we start painting

Every project needs a Grant Booth onboard. For our intensive 6 week project, he performed tech rescue for all of our staff from Warner Roadshow Studios on the Gold Coast. He was in Wagga, us on the Gold Coast and the client in Sydney and it was entirely seemless with his help. What Grant doesn't know about computers, ftp'ing and tech support simply isn't worth knowing.
