Tuesday, 07 October 2008 09:46 Stiff Panty Man
E-mail Print PDF

Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the air.....

durdum (Jaws Music Sound).....durdum.....durdum...durdum..durdum.durdum.....AHHHHHH! PantyMan is Back!

Yes that's right folks, hide your equipment, distract your wives and lower your expectations, the Dusties one-and-only CrossDresser is back in town (for the weekend).

This momentus occassion was rewarded with some nice flying on Monday.  Drunken (yet recently reformed and now sober) Duncan, C.K.M.M (Come-Kill-Me-Muzz) and PantyMan headed out to Lake Perko for a nice afternoon fly in good thermic conditions with a moderate SE blowing.  We were accompanied by our resident Chief Gropee (Dusties Groupy) Toby and his entourage of Dusty worshippers.

Duncan was the first to take to the air and on his second tow found some lift to around 2999ft and enjoyed a nice sustained flight.  Unfortunately his harness zip decided to disintergrate which grounded him for the rest of the day.  PantyMan (making many brave whimpering sounds) went for his first flight in nearly a year and managed to find lift up to exactly 3000ft before the drift took him too far from the lake and he had to return to demonstrate a perfect landing in the Fun 190.  C.K.M.M was next up and vanished up to 5500ft in a matter of minutes before entertaining everyone with some Aerobatics.  PantyMan had setup the Moyes Max and took it for a nice tow to 2000ft and enjoyed a nice smooth flight in weak and broken lift which he, in his infinite wisdom, decided to finish by demonstrating the very difficult and dangerous 'look-at-ground' landing technique where he demonstrated a perfect early flare and drop.  No damaged done and cobwebs removed PantyMan was very happy to be home and flying once more.  Chief Gropee Toby then produced fingerfood, chocolate and beer for the brave pilots and everyone celebrated PantyMan's return.

All in all there is no better way to spend a Monday and good flights and great fun was had by all.  Muzz won the day and no injuries or damage was done.  PantyMan will be residing in Perth for the forseeable future but will regularly venture up to his old launching grounds to keep the rest of the Dusties honest. 

Till the next Panty Invasion, Fly High.

 

Dusties AGM nite and frovollities

Well, another Dusties AGM has past without anyone getting arrested. Happy to say the new president didn't throw up his dinner this time,due to the fact the next day would be the first flyable day in six weeks.

Meals were running late but that was okay as a lot of discussions were had by all.The best news had to be Antony and Andrew have almost finished there licience with only thier extended flights to do....after excelling in the art of "hang waiting"with Mr yappa himself ,to see the" thousand foot tow"look on their faces and hear the paddock plowing stories almost brought a tear to my eye.Also good to hear that Toby is booked and paid to go fly with God himself Rohan Holtcamp in october...bring it on

Ritcho kept us updated on the lake perkolilli application,and it looks good with just a rubber stamp from the town CEO ,but only after we the club, have had a good read of the agreement....well done guys ...I promise not to open anymore cans of worms.

More hard work by the man in regards to the comp,all seems to be going smoothly,Trevor suggested notifying some eastern staters to come over.that would boost the numbers.....let's also get all these novices there,it's the best flying experience/exposure they can get....

I think Kerryn and Rik spoke like pirates all night...arrr...meeybee it was the wine ....ye scurvy dogs

Another proud moment ,was bestode ?? on me was to present to Peter Cep ,with our first 'LIFE MEMBERSHIP'award(after he pays his fees)....Peter was there from the start ,helping to form this club with his computing abilities ,managing skills,drinking habits ,allowing us to practice complex medical procedures on him time and time again.To say he gave it all was an understatement....well done Pete

Awards was different this year with everyone receiving something from the lucky dip. up for grabs was things like a police alarm clock,wigs ,a mankini, beer mugs,barbie doles ,rubber bullets,facial implants,model gliders and other things that I cant recall.....shoulda seen the looks we got from other people in the resturant.........

It was a great night had by all and with the prospect of a fly the next day we called a close of the meeting...and passed out.......

Stay tuned for more Dusties antics

Richos New ToyFlying Report Saturday 20th
A great Spring day out at Lake Perkolilli today with Richo, Muz and Duncan enjoying thermals to 4.5 grand.

I christened my new glider and it's still in the same shape as before I flew it.

Duncan went for a nice flight to KB Muz and I hanged out at the Lake.

Bring on summer.

The Dusties faired well this year, but alas, did not triumph! The Goldfields Dust Devils came in second in the teams event, helped by Murray Wood who gave a very strong personal account of himself, Anthony (Meeks) Meecham, Trevor (I've done my knee in) Scott, and Wild man Duncan Dekoning who added 4 personal BP's to his name!! Thanks also goes to our super-sub Richo Breyley.

Goldfields Dust Devils Seek Glory at Wyalcatchem

Muz is leading a new look team to Wyalcatchem to attempt to retain the teams trophy at the State Soaring Championships in Wyalcatchem WA. The Goldfields Dust Devils have won the teams trophy in 2005 and 2007 and if successful they will be the first team to win it on 3 occasions.

The Dusties 2008 will made up of Muz (Captain), Duncan, Trevor and Jayson Kath.

“We are quietly confident”, stated Muz. “Naturally we will miss Scurge the current state champion, but we expect Duncan to do very well in the novice class, he will be a very acceptable replacement for Drew who is currently in South Africa.” “And Richo will be coming into the team as a Super Sub for myself for the last round on Saturday.”

The weather is looking good for the week there should be plenty of 100km flights and personal bests.

“Team One will be the team to beat with Dave Wellington, Phillip Knight and Gavin Nichols they have 2 former state champions in their side. However they may underestimate our young side.”

Scurge, Richo Pete and Toby will be coming down to Wyalcatchem to free fly on the long weekend.
