Hey there,

Well, it's not really a tow plane yet, a trainer, if flight is successfull, I will increase the power and put the tow hook.

Will be good for gliders up to 2~2.5kg  :D
Handy to have, as that will free up the big tow plane for the bigger stuff  :D

Brian, I will leave as early as I can... Maybe at around 9am  :?:
Everuthing is charging and ready !
I can text you (send me your number... Same Keith if you want) when I leave Dublin.

Well that was fun, wasn't it?

100Kph winds at the ridge
Two damaged models
And a failed attempt at dynamic soaring. :cry:  Hmmmmmm

When shall we do it again? :D

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

Well, what a day !

First, to the flying field for the first flight of the Shark... A bit like back to basic by flying a plane  :mrgreen:
That thing don't even have airbrakes !  :P  :lol:

Anyway, smallish wind at the start, blue sky and sun...





Then we decided to fly real flying machines, and headed to Mt Leinster  :P

Base camp was established on the SW slope...





And the machines...











Average wind was 80 Km/h with 100Km/h gust !  Lethal !

Good day !  :D

Oh, and forgot the rain at the end !
