Gliders > Slope Soaring

Roll up! Roll up! for a Great Weekend (29 -30th Sep.)

<< < (4/25) > >>

Ron:
Apologies for not keeping up.

About 4 months ago I had a sudden and severe pain.
Cut long story short... I was eventually whizzed up to hospital in Cork with an aortic aneurism, right up near the heart.
Straight into ICU.

So, been 'doing nothing' like a good boy while taking blood pressure lowering pills.
Latest C/T scan shows the main problem has virtually healed, but there is a smaller secondary 'problem' that informed opinion says needs a plastic pipe and two jubilee clips.
No that's not right.
Needs a stent.
So waiting on the consultant's appointment system.....

Hence the doubt about getting to Big L.

Flying two at once may pose a slight problem, especially as I've only got one transmitter  :?
(And one head, and that's not much good at flying one at a time)

But maybe following someone else's glider.......

One good thing is, it's got a brilliant Return To Home function.
Hit the switch and it flies back and lands itself.
Does that with signal failure too.

Now if I could just get a glider to do that  8)

Happy Days:
oooOOOOooo, I bet that’s knocked your confidence. Sounds rather scary. :(  You need lots of R+R.  We all hope it goes well for you Ron. :wink:  You’ll be running up and down those slopes in no time. :D

As for the Return to Home function, and lands itself hu! If that isn’t cheating I don’t know what is! ! :roll:

K.

Ron:
Thanks Keith.

Yes, you know the old saying.... If at first you don't succeed - cheat  :twisted:

Richard Boyd:
Hi Ron , hope your stent placement goes well and your back out flying soon.
Your video is looking good , well done.

Ron:
Thanks Richard.

Cloud base zero feet today, so no flying here  :(
