Gliders > Slope Soaring
Easter Holiday flying.
Richard Boyd:
These are a few snaps from yesterdays flying.
These measurement are MPH !!!!!!!!
WINDS INCREASED TO 69 KMPH AFTER 2PM
This Secret Weapon of Karls is a beautiful plane to fly !!!!!!
The Fox is the best plane I have ever flown, it really suits my style.
I took John to the Big East Cliff ! not for the faint hearted. This is a slope that produces mega lift.

Richard Boyd:
This is what happens when you think your CPLR !
4 point rolls 50cm from the slope face is cruel to planes :?:
My windrider fox is going to be another few grammes heavier with uhu por lol

Happy Days:
Well thank you concierge Richard, we have plenty of options there. :)
Yesterdays wind speed and visibility at Slieve Gallion couldn’t have been better could they. (Well, perhaps a little stronger wind.) I do hope they continue for tomorrow.
Do you think Andrew will show tomorrow? After all, there are an awful lot of trees at the bottom of that slope. Hope he brings his spectacles so he can see them.. :lol: ( :?: Hmmm, that was a bit cruel wasn’t it, ……..sorry about that Andy. :D )
Looks to me as thought Karl is a Phase 6 fanatic. Pink and yellow,…….very fetching. :P Are those wings symmetric or semi-symmetric?
As for your ‘wee’ Fox Richard, I know the feeling for doing close in aerobatics. I think the danger gives the manoeuvres that tinge of excitement that makes you feel as though you “must” try them. :twisted: Very gratifying when they work :D , very damaging to the models when they don’t. :oops:
What time tomorrow lads? (Sun rises at 6 o/c ) (No, …..I wont be there at 6 o/c)

Oh,……..one more thing,……..tell JP to bring his BIG B52 please. I’ve never actually seen that bird in the air! :clap:
Richard Boyd:
Hi Keith , time !
What ever time suits the rest, I get up around 5am most mornings !
I had to get Mrs P to waken John at 10.30am yesterday, God bless little John.
Andrew and Terry is coming down also tomorrow !
JP has the B52 all ready to fly for you.
I hope Karl will also be there.
I have a large pump flask and tea coffee etc. if anyone else has flasks then fill them and bring them along, I have cups+spoons .
Were is the French Foreign Legioner ?
They have motto, "March to Die"
Freds motto "fly to die"
The winds are blowing strong again today !
Wall to wall sunshine, lets hope it remains for tomorrow.
