So how about these dates? They are the last Sunday of every month.
May need to change the April date to earlier as the Cork glide-in is usually at the end of April.
We can make one of these a flat field day or add a flat field day (or two!) as well.
We should try to have another Official ISR meeting at the end of the summer. Maybe the September date can be another Official meeting.

Anyone see any problems with these date? (apart from getting people out that is :wink: )

March 30th
April 27th
May 25th
June 29th
July 27th
August 31th
September 28th
October 26th

Without a doubt the most accurate forecasts for the next couple of days, but only serves coastal sites.

BY the way, you must change the spot in the spot menu to the nearest to the site youre interested in! Not always easy, as they use surfers names for surf spots!

Dates look good to me. Won't be able to make all of them, but hopefully most. Looking forward to them already!

May try to fly at Kilakee this Saturday - depending on wind and cloud base! I need to be away by 3 though, so probably will go up shortly after noon if it is flyable. Sunday might be OK too.

Won't be able to make it on Saturday Peter. Might be able to get out on Sunday though. Could do with a few hours flying. How bout you Fred? Killakee Sunday? Looks like a south-west wind.
Sorry to stray off topic!

I should have finished to retrofit the airbrakes on the Alpina...
Sunday should be ok for me, or even saturday if the weather is better...

I might be able to make it Sunday to.

I've got some friends coming over from the UK to fly here - probably the week b4 Easter.

I would like them to see various spots across the country.

Where is this Kilakee place?

Fred · « **Reply #25 on:** January 25, 2008, 08:12:07 AM »

10 minutes from my house

I have the kmz file, I'll post it later.
W-NW slope.
You also have a N slope here, but not that great.
You must show them Mt Leinster too.
Anyway, let us know, we can organise some flying !

Thanks Fred! O:)

Great!
I'll try to visit the closest place just to have a look.

Are the access ok, or i'll have to do sort of offroad driving?

Fred · « **Reply #29 on:** January 25, 2008, 11:08:10 AM »

No offroad !

For Keelakee, you can see the car park. Park here, and launch fron the window ! :wink:
Mt Leinter, NE is at the car park, but to fly 360degrees, you need a little approach walk, but nothing serious, even with big machines.

Let me know when you are going to Keelakee. We can meet there and have some flying !
