Gliders > Slope Soaring
It's getting crowded on Big L.
Happy Days:
So Big Keith and myself were flying our combat wings together on Big L today and suddenly we were accosted by a man who said he wanted to have a go at gliding aero models.
So we let him have a go, fully expecting him to crash and have a long walk to collect the model,……but he didn’t! :shock: :shock: In fact he flew rather well for a first timer. 8)
So the man in question is Patrick O’Brien. (Pat) He was so in enthralled with the experience that when he got home he phoned me to say that he’s ordered a Zagi plus all the radio gear! (Is this guy serious or what!!! :D )(We like " serious flyers" on this forum :P )
So we now have yet another Big L local flyer to join our merry crew.
(I can remember a time when I would be the only person flying off the Big L apart from at glide-in’s. At this rate it’s gonna start getting crowded up there.)
So welcome to the party, Pat……Log into the forum and say ‘hello’.
Here's a picture from today. (I thought I'd put their names in, in case they forgot who they were :roll: )
Keith:
Welcome patrick :clap: :clap:
stephen.shannon:
Welcome Pat, unfortunately you'll have to change your name to Keith so you can join the club, we'll have little keith, big keith and medium sized keith ;-)
selleri:
Congrats on the new recruit!
What's that orange thingy called? :?:
Happy Days:
Qnswer: A flying wing. Made of plastic foam with a couple of servos, battery and a rx you chuck it off the slope and it flys! :D …………….Er, sorry about that Selleri, :oops: ……….I couldn’t resist it!!! :lol:
It’s a Skua from a company in Oz called Wowings.
I’ve found that combat wings are the best things for newbie’s to have a go at flying because of their resilience to damage. So whenever someone new asks to ‘have a go’ I let them use my Skua. (I dial in lots of expo on the elevator control to make it less sensitive in pitch. :wink: )
Ever done any combat flying Selleri?
