Killiney Hill Park (Dalkey) ?

(1/1)

DennisZ:
Hi there,

looks like there will be a wind from south-east tomorrow.
Is Killiney Hill any good for midsize models (Stargazer) ?


I will be around early morning ... 9am

Fred:
Hey Dennis,

Flew there years ago...
Not a lot of space to land, so flew there with a crunchy. And no recovery possible if you land on the slope as there is lots of trees / high stuff...
I have some photos, I try to find them !  :!:
But nice view !
Top is about 10 minutes walk from the car park.

Fred:
Found them !  :D

Sorry for the poor quality  :oops:





Not much... Landing zone is behind.. Not flat at all...  :(

DennisZ:
Thanks Fred.

That looks dangerous for wooden planes :(

Any other slopes around Dublin for SE winds ?
(I've got an 'approval' for morning flights tomorrow :) )

Fred:
Yep, crunchies only on that one I'm affraid !
Flew there with a combat flying wing, and my Terry.. Landings were.. Interresting !  :P

SE winds, Glencree ! But that's a good walk !
