Getting together for flying!!!!!

<< < (3/14) > >>

joe:
Bungie will be great Alan. I have a very old one that I was given. Have never tried it. It looks a little worse for wear!

So lets have a flat field day then. Aero-tow, bungie, electric gliders as well.

I'm sure we could use the club I'm in to fly from. The model county flying club. The field is in Ferns. This would be handy for aero-tow. Probably have to share with a few IC planes. Rarely more than four people flying though. Even in summer time. If we don't do aero-tow then there are probably lots of places to fly from. All we need is a field!

Maybe leave that one till July/August/September in the hope of a nice day!  :roll:

So one meet a month sound OK to all? Maybe starting in March?
Should we not do it on months that have other meeting( Cork, ISR etc) or just go for it?

Would be really great if we got into the habit of meeting once a month. It would hopefully encourage more pilots to come out as well!

Maybe we could make it the last Sunday of every month?

During this winter time, usually isnt any good days?
Always rainning? Or the wind is too strong?

No shortage of wind, BUT............... :D

We do in fact have some incredible days all through winter, but there really is a very high chance of rain, so it would be very difficult to organise something in advance for winter.

I agree with Joe's proposal, and that we try for every month.  Weather can still call a halt to things at short notice, so it must be accepted that we will not suceed in getting every monthly meeting (or other fly-in meetings) to work.  For that reason it would be better to have the days fixed in advance, and that we should include all months, even if there is another gliding meeting also scheduled for that month.  That way we might suceed in getting one or two days of flying together this summer :lol: !

What will be important is to have a pre-arrenged system of notification of whether a day is on or off, as well as of reserve sites for different winds, due to our complete dependance on weather.  This forum is the obvious choice, and we will have to decide on a cut-off day and time for the organiser to post the final decision.

IceWind:
Ok i understand.

I was used to check over Windfinder and/or Windguide for those details.
Is there any other more realiable website to use for Ireland?

Alan_Perse:
Try www.xcweather.co.uk
