MCFC - Saturday 11th April - A day at the flying Field...

<< < (2/3) > >>

joe:
enjoy!

Fred:
Well, my trip to Mt Leinster stopped on the way at the MCFC field, in a pure lazy moment ! Very nice weather, lightish wind, and even thermals passing by... Wish we had a tow plane... Well, miracle happens !  :D  :D

Thanks to Brian and the other pilots to have me as a guest all day  :clap:

Here are a few photos, but a video of the day will follow soon!  :D

Andrew and his Yak54, DA50 engine... Don't sneeze or you will miss it !



Andrew Piper J3.. Had a chat about addind a tow hook... :D



Brian was training for a contest. Concentration !



Me...



The models :













Then, Keith arrived !  :D
Keith was flying nicely with electric trainer, a Cessna type plane.
Well, you know me, when there is something to try...
I had the Easyglider in the car, so we decided to use Keith plane as a tug, and aerotow the Easyglider... Well, we had to entertain the crowed  :P

Very nice ! I think our 4th and last tow (late in the day, had to go home  :cry: ) was the best one !  :clap:  Keith managing to keep constant climb rate and speed, the tows were like a walk in the park !  :clap:

So, we need to do that again with this setup ! That will keep us busy until the big tow plane gets ready !
Thanks Keith for having a go!  :clap: Hope I did not shout at you too much (down down down! throttle ! left! right! beer!  :P )  :oops:

So, again, thank you all !
What the weather like for next saturday  :D  :?:

Alan_Perse:
Looks like a nice flying feild Fred. How far away are those power lines? They look like they are close by.

Happy Days:
Now Fred, I'm curious :?:

What is the guy in the background of the second picture doing???

As for the flying, .......that was very interesting. I've never flown a Tug before. They say you learn something new every day! :D

Let's see what the weather holds for this weekend. Mind you, if you take a liking to tow gliding you'll have to apply to join the MCFC. (Of course I'll veto your application. We don't want any foreigners in the club :lol:  :lol:  :lol: )

Fred:
:lol:  Good eyes eagle eyes Keith ! Did not even paid attention !
But I have the one when he do a number 2 in the background...  :P  :lol:  :lol:
