Well what a marvelous weekend. I still have the red sunburned face to prove it. Big thanks to all for turning out and for traveling to joining us. Great to have so many pilots and models on the slope. I know the lift was very light but I think most got a few flights in especially in the evening when the wind got up a little. Hard to complain about the light winds too much when you are lying on the slope in a t-shirt. :D We will have plenty of wind and cold in the coming months.
Thanks for posting the photos and movies. Some great shots there and all in beautiful clear skies for a change.
A little more lift on Sunday evening Dave but we had a hang-glider flying straight through our air for 'bout and hour. He finally headed off but then so did the lift. Bit of a pain! :!: :!:
Fred:
Hello all,
A big thank you to all of you for coming ! :clap: All in all, I think we where 21 pilots over the 2 days, and maybe 3 times the number of models !
Thanks to Bill and John from coming from NI, so as Les, Dave and Ger, long trip for one day... That's dedication ! :clap:
Not a lot of wind, but plenty of thermals for everybody, and as Joe said, that's a nice change for once to fly at the slope lying on the grass in a T-Shirt !!
What a great week end we had! :D
Floaters, electrics, PSS, scale, fast, slow etc etc, we pretty much had everything!
As for me, very happy, 2 maiden flights went very well ! DG1000, the good old friend is back in the sky, and the asw15, certainly one of the best flyer I ever had (maiden went like in a magazine... :P )
Here are some photos, I hope I have everyone !
Video of the week end to follow right after that ! :D
Fred:
Some more...
Yeah, we even had a Mr Whippy van ! What more can you ask for ! Beautifull day, lots of like minded people, and an Ice Cream van ! :D
Dave, we need to make the Buns hand over more official, with flags and music ! (and cheerleaders...) !! :D
