Flamingo Flier:
Thanks, Bill, thanks, Ralph, for your very prompt replies. Sounds like Jeti then.
There was a good breeze yesterday - probably a little too much for the old 100" I had brought expecting the conditions to be lighter. I could have gone back down to get the Flamingo but I could see a shower coming so I went ahead anyway. It coped fine!
The first shower came about 1:00!
Had you many fliers on Saturday? Had the French contingent gone home?
Thanks again,
Jim

Hi Jim,
it was lovely and warm with SW breeze and plenty of lift. We flew our Lentus models from MPX while Alan flew his MPX Solius.
Fred entertained us with a 1/10th scale Phoebus. Dinky little thing with rudder and elevator.
There was also a lad from Portugal working in Tuam came an joined us. He is looking to join the club and get involved.
The lads from France had returned home a week ago, however there will be another contingent arriving for our June bank holiday meeting.
Look forward to seeing you there.
All the best,
Ralph

Hi Jim,
Many of my clubmates are using Radiomaster T16S for everything - drones, power, gliders. Most are on EdgeTx (vs OpenTx). Steep learning curve, but quite an impressive radio. Not that I fly gliders (anything) very often, but I've been moving all of my gliders onto it. It has the potential to become my single transmitter, for all modes of model aviation. Probably not a good bet as a first radio as my first interactions with it were admittedly very frustrating, but very powerful once one acquires some familiarity with it.
