Mount Leinster Sept 08 - ISR Glide-In

<< < (6/11) > >>

Happy Days:
Yes, good pictures Anthony. I recon you understand a bit about photography, well done.

Encouragement? Joe :shock:  Does that mean I can expect more of the same in future? (Heaven help me!)

Fred:
Well guys, same as Joe ! Thanks a lot for coming, once again, a real pleasure to meet / fly with you all !
We were really lucky with the weather + lots of aeronautic activities on the site ! Perfect week end !

Here are a few photos, sorry, no videos from me this time !

Saturday :













Full cars !  :D  Always a good sign !















And finally, after 8 years... First flight of Les Mini Milan !  :clap:

























And some car battery fixing on the slope...
Look at Ralph, did almost everything, Les being the assistant  :P  :P  :mrgreen:

Fred:
Sunday

Great pics, guys!

Yes, I want to add my thanks to all who helped organise this event!  Great craic all round, and a great bunch of guys!

Seems though, my planes don't like sharing the sky with other models..  The only time I seem to get control glitches is when I attend a fly-in...  Maybe there's a message for me there... :?:

Just one small fly in the oitment from my point of view:  I found that power models doing 3D stuff in front of the flying line very distracting and annoying.  I know it's a free world - anyone has the right to do that if that is their inclination.  It is just my personal view that when a bunch of glider guiders organise to get together and enjoy their (mostly) silent machines, that power-only toys should stay in the car....  If one wants to fly and enjoy such models, one needs only go to your local flying patch (or even fly off your own front lawn) - you don't need to drive half-way across the country to a remote mountain-side to do so...

Hi,

Thanks a mill for organising a great day out. How much did it cost to have the nice weather delivered?
Mt Leinster is a beautifull place. We will come again for sure.

I just joined your forum today on the back of meeting you guys on sunday. I posted a thank you in the gliding forum but i suppose I should have posted it here. Anyway I don't use inet forums generally so it took me a few hours to find my way around.

Nice pics Fred, you are a bit sneaky with that camera, I was not aware you were going around taking photos to put on this site. Nice job.

Thanks Joe for your warm welcome.

Ralph next time I will bring buns... :wink:

Cheers
D.
