Gliders > Slope Soaring
Cabin fever anyone ?
Peter:
Good to hear of all the flying activity. I got an hours flight yesterday with Jim at Kilakee - nice light breeze from the lake so oblique to the main slope but that suited us as the sun was low to the left. I was flying the Eliminator, Jim his Osprey. Floating weather. Pretty cold but certainly not as much snow as Bill. Too bad Alan - the good thing about wood models is that they are easily repaired. Hope you get well soon Fred.
First day of Spring tomorrow!!
joe:
Looks like everyone is coming out of hibernation. Almost made it out on friday I think it was but had a sick little girl at home. Will have to wait until spring has sprung!
I'm sure you'll be back in the air soon Alan. Turbulence can be tricky especially with only a rudder and elevator.
Impressed with your commitment lads. That looks blood cold up north!

Hi Joe,
Thought you were off on your travels again!
Couple more pics of the frozen North :cry:
Alan_Perse:
Almost looks like you are in the Antarctic in the first picture Bill :D :D
billscottni:
It felt like it Alan. Although once you got moving it wasn't bad. Wind chill was pretty bad on the hands. Wind meter was showing 12 -15mph which gives a windchill temp of -4C. Glad I had fishing gloves :D :D John was flying in his bare hands and still doing 15 min flights :shock:
