Howdy everybody  :D
Back home last night  :cry:
Fantastic sloping holidays, and many thanks again to Ronan and Isabelle  :clap:  :clap:
Some very good laughs, good flying (some crazy conditions!), some beautiful machines, endless fun!
I'll put some photos later, and more stories  :D
Car is still packed, lots to be unloaded  :!:
Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!

No, that’s not cool Mario,…..that’s just weird! :lol:

Fred, please hurry up with that video. I’m so excited at the thought of it, I’m nearly peeing my pants!  :shock:

Try not to run out of airspeed, altitude and ideas....... all at the same time.

Hi all
Well home now, from a fantastic trip and a big thankyou to Fred, Ronan and Isabelle for looking after us, Roisin and I had a great time.
So here are a few photos to get things started, as there was a lot of photos taken by everyone.






The car park on the first day


This photo was taken from the summit showing the crowd on the first day.


Fred!!


Ronan's B4








Some of the gliders , in the pits, it soon filled up during the morning with I think 127 models.







I will post more photos when I get time!
