Metcheck update

Hi all,
Metcheck has been updated and now has some new options.
Open up Metcheck from the useful links section of our main page and there is now a blue toolbar with a hobbies tag - click on this and then "Model Aviation" which will open up another page.
You will then see a dropdown box in the middle of the page "select a model flying club".
Click on this and a list of the current flying sites will appear, with Bartons Point MFC 5th from the top at the moment.
Click on Bartons Point and it will open up the weather forecasts specific to the location of our field.
Hopefully they can get the predictions right and it will be useful.
All the best, Dave

A REAL TEXAN

Paul (Speedy Brit) sent me this so here it is....
TURN THE SOUND UP - THE ELECTRIC TEXAN SOUNDS THE SAME AS THE REAL THING SOUNDS - SCROLL DOWN A FEW POSTS BELOW... Hi Peter,
I think this is the same plane - don't know planes to well. I was at an airshow in Canada last year and recorded this - sounds great. Clip is very short - can only send 9mb. Hope you don't mind me emailing rather than posting on your blog as I was not sure how to post the video and pictures wouldn't be the same . Popped down the field last Wendsday ( see I didn't leave it till the spectacular) Only for an hour as I was helping to marshall the island run, Landing strip looks great well done to everyone. Have fun regards Paul. ( speedy brit ).
Thanks Paul for the email and video. Regards Peter (Broken Wing).
