David Kelly:
Hello all,
I'm new to your forum and am happy to find others who are interested in RC slope soaring. Am also fairly new to this hobby, have taught myself to fly off the sand dunes on Donabate beach and bungee launch gliding/electric at the local park over the past year or so. I have a 1.2m Fling (Great Planes), and 1m Dragonfly Electric Park flyer (Cermark). Fairly basic ARTF kits but good for learning on.

If there is any flying this weekend Saturday or Sunday, weather forecast looks like SW, I'd like to come along if thats OK. Could you reply with site location and time and I'll try best to be there.

cheers
David :shock:

Hi David,
Welcome to the forum !  :D

Peter planned to go flying in Glencree.
If you know where Kilakee is, just continue down the road, pass the Kilakee slope and drive for about 2 km. You will have a road junction going down to Glencree. The slope at this junction on the road is on your right !
Park around here.
We usualy go at the slope at around 2pm, but Peter may tell you is plan for Sunday.

Map and so on for the slope in the forum, or have a look here as well :

You will need to walk up the hill to fly, but nothing too serious !  :D
I may go, not for flying (well, I will bring a glider, we never know !
If I can get free for 1 hr or so !) so we can meet somewhere at some stage if you want.

Peter:
Hi David - welcome also.

I hope to go out this weekend - wind looks as if it is very far south tomorrow which creates problems as we cannot use Killakee and Glencree only works if you walk up above the lake.  At the moment I am planning to go out Sunday afternoon (2.00ish) as the wind looks as if it will be more southeasterly and we can fly from the slope above the road at Glencree, although it looks pretty light so perhaps a day for a floater.  

I will post any change of plan.  See you on the slope sometime.

David Kelly:
Hi Fred,
Thanks for the reply, hopefully see some lads on Sunday around 2pm and perhaps yourself as well.
 :D

cheers
David

David Kelly:
Cheers Peter,
The 1.2m Fling is a real floater so Sunday should suit me if its going to be fairly light winds. Quite fancy trying Howth head tomorrow if its going to be southerly, but dont know if herself will let me away for 2 days in a row.

David
