Gliders > Slope Soaring
mount leinster 14th,15th May......so who is going?
Happy Days:
What a great time. Thanks to all who made it. Bit wet on the Saturday with showers every hour or so :roll: , but we still got some good flying in.
Commiserations to Chris who’s plane ended up in the trees canopy. :cry: Most of us have either done that, or come close to doing it, haven’t we.
Sunday there was no rain, but low cloud to start. But we flew for almost all of the day. :D
I took an old little stills camera with me on the Sunday and recorded the following footage. Not very clear but just about watch able I think :wink: . It only shows a few of the pilots who where present. (It doesn’t have a very big memory, so couldn’t record all who where there.)
JP presented himself in usual fine form from the north. Chris’s brother, Joe flew a fine glass covered Phase 6. (It looks a lot better condition than mine I have to say. :!: )
Of course “our” Joe was there also, showing us all up with his normal display of expertise. A new pilot in the making, Darren joined us and took the sticks of his new Radian for the first time. Well done Darren! :clap:
On Sunday we were joined by Peter, Alan, Les, Ralph, Dave, Ger, Fergal and a couple of other pilots who’s names escape me at the present. Welcome back to the slope lads 8) . It seems we also have another potential pilot thinking of joining us in the form of local lad Graham. He couldn’t stay on Sunday as he was just passing with the wife and kids in tow. But he says, “I’ll be back.” :D
Now, let me see……can I remember how to link in this video from Vimeo :?:

Hi Lads
Thanks for a great weekend, great flying with good friends. Keith your video is the best one yet, produced so far from the new wexford studio and I am sure Icelandair's PR department, will have quite a few comments from their last set of passangers on the 787 flight to Ireland, well, we had the french ground crew union rep on strike again on take off :lol: :lol: :lol:
Highlight of my weekend, had to be Davemac's big 4m Fox, what a fantastic plane and looked so real in the air!
look forward to the next event.
'O Yes' sorry but I have no photos to post, I was to busy flying and forgot to take any :oops:
Happy Days:
Glad you liked the vid lads. I kinda had to make the story up as I went along :? .
Fergal, you said you were going to get a Phase 6. I’ve made a list of modifications which I use and posted them on this forum under the heading of "Techniques" and "Topic" of “How to…”
I shall expect to see your ‘6 flying at the next event :clap: . Please don’t let me down! :lol:
I’m sure I saw Fred brandishing a camera at the weekend 8) . Comon Fred, share the picies!! PLEASE :wink:
