Hello everyone !
I am new to Ireland from France.
I fly for Aer arann as a Captain and quite new to Rc models.
Just bought an Easyglider combo with radio package that I flew 3 times and managed to crash not to badly, so it is still ok.
I live in Crosshaven and if anyone pratising RC is around drop a message it would be nice to meet new people.
Cheers,
Jerome.

Fred:
Salut Jerome, bienvenue en Irlande !  :D

Crosshaven.. I must have a look in a map is that place ! Ring a bell, but can see if that near one of our flying site...  :?:

Fred,
It is not to far from Kinsale about 15 min right after Carrigaline on the shore.
I am pretty sure there are good slopes around here. I let you no what I find.
I Usually try to spot them from the air while shooting approaches to Runway 35 in Cork.
Been Unlucky so far to access these spots as all are surrounded by fences.
See you soon,
Jerome.
PS: I heard theres a model club in Cork but can t find a website via google.
Anyone would know how to contact them ?

Fred:
Yep, you have Kinsale, really good spot !
Go to Kinsale and head for the golf club. You have a ruin castle in a field before the golf club. You can fly here (check for some photos on my website)

For the CMAC, contact Ralph (Rogallo on the forum), he will be able to help you as they often fly in Kinsale and around. You have a good bunch of guys flying gliders there !  :D

Fred:
Here you go :
