ISR Glide-In - May 10-11th 2008
Fred:
Hi everybody,
Thanks a million for all you guys coming this week end ! Cork, Kerry, Dublin were well represented !
How to resume this week end ??... Was thinking of 3 words like "Oh my God !" and another one like "Woww !!" :D :wink:
The first forcast was the good one ! Light wind coming from the NE, small showers for saturday morning (all in all, 3 minutes of rain...) but really good dynamic until 12pm.
After that ? Well, wind from the valley, and some of the most powerfull thermals ever seen in Ireland !
Well, when some crazy guys launch a 4kg Alpina, the wind coming from the back, and the thing is satellised in less than a minute, that's a sign that the conditions are going to be good !
On sunday, the Hifly, even in a spin was going up !
We've counted up to 8 gliders in the air at the same time on saturday afternoon and sunday !
A few "landings" down the hill, but that is part of the thermal hunt !
Even the P51 Pss took some thermals ! (until the aerial got stuck to the aluminium fuselage after some aerobatics, and lost control... Thanks EPP ! :D )
So many things to say ! I'll take more time later !
Now, some photos ! Have hundred more to put ! And video coming soon !
Enjoy !

Benoit, the Thermal God ! Around 8 hours flying with the HiFly ! And some really good laughs ! :D

We were able to fly on both side of the mountain at the same time.. Where ever you launch, strong thermals were here ! :shock:
