Hi Fred,
Is all going well with this.
I tried to contact Joe at the weekend but he was away.
We had our club (Model County Flying Club) AGM on Tues,, night.We were wondering might you need any help with Retro,,. Also might you want to use our field during the week, perhaps if there was no wind or rain/cloud on the slope.We could arrange a tug.There is a BBQ ,tea and coffee there etc.
Anyway we are here and we have our next meeting in March,so if you want/need anything from us do not hesitate to ask.
Also are you going to arrange insurance cover for the visiting pilots.When we ran the F3A FAI World Championships in 2001 we gave all the visitors temporary MACI membership. Kevin or Ralph ,I'm sure, can arange this with Finbar C.

Would you have plans/kit for a FS3 Besenstiel ?
I might do one if time allows.

Brian

Fred:
Hey Brian,

Thanks for the offer. Talked to Joe about that a little while ago. Will be nice to meet at the slope and have a chat (hopefully soon, if the weather co-operate !!  :!:  :!: )
For the insurance cover, we'll talk about that, and I'll keep in touch with the Cork guys. Not sure when is the next Cork Glide-in, might be the occasion to meet everyone  :D

For the FS3, Vincent is your man ! (Vincennnnttttt !!!  :D )
Will be nice for you to have a vintage glider to participate ! (need to build quick, Retroplane is getting close !!)

Hi Brian, sorry but the FS3 is not drawn in cad, so there is no dxf files/short-kit (but only the ribs to cut...) you can order the paper's plan on this page http://www.retroplane.net/besenstiel/besenstiel.htm

Brian:
Hi Fred,Vincent,
Thanks guys I will look at that.
Does the Bes,, qualify for retro ??.
Yes Fred we should meet to chat as our field is exactly in the middle between 'basecamp' and the slope at Leinster.
To run these things takes effort ,not talk,and many hands makes light the work.If you do need 'local' help you and Joe are welcome to come to a club meeting and of course we must get up to the slope soon as possible.

Brian
