ISR Glide-In - 22-23 May2010 ****IT'S A GO!****
Happy Days:
Well this is a curious phenomenon. It seems that pilots will either say when they can’t / don’t want to fly, or say nothing! :? (Apart from Fred who, being a democrat, will go with the majority.)
Our Northern friends want a quick answer to know whether to book B+B or not.
So how about this then………
Would all pilots who would like to fly (in a group) on Mt Leinster in the near future please state their preferred dates.
If, by this time tomorrow night, there is no majority in favour of a specific weekend we’ll ‘throw caution to the wind', (if you’ll pardon the pun) and leave it as being this coming weekend. What do we all think of that???
Oh, on a slightly different note. .....
Richard, just because you dear ol’ dad is 80 :clap: you can tell him from me he’s not old, he’s just a ‘Spring Chicken.’
billscottni:
I can understand people not wanting to travel if forecats wind is light and I have another event I can go to if this cancelled (NIMSA Thermal event), so I'm easy either way. (No comments please :?: )
Basically, I'd just like an early decision one way or the other, although I would miss your happy smiling face Keith :twisted:
Richard Boyd:
My heart says "go" ! my head says "stay at home and when the winds are stronger, spend my money and go down to visit Keith and the Mt L flyer's then."
According to windfinder, winds are now forecast for 10mph / 9knots !
My heart is starting to win !!!!!
I know my Phase 6 will not fly but to hell with it I will go if that's what the rest are doing !
Fred is reportedly supplying the beer ! :clap:
Richard
rogallo:
Cool beer I hope as warm beer causes turbulence you know! :lol:
Happy Days:
Hey Richard,
Your Phase 6 might be tempted to stay in the air in light conditions if you “droop” the ailerons by 2 or 3 mm. :wink:
I’ve found the down side is that this creates a tendency for the plane to tip stall. If you have dual aileron servos it’s less of a problem because you can increase and decrease the camber using your Tx to find the best situation while you’re flying.
If you’ve only got a central aileron servo you’ll have to adjust the linkage, making the changes “permanent” for the duration of each flight. In this case I suggest you bring her in to land a little faster than normal……..or bring a large bottle of CA with you! :(
Fred recons the larger winged models are easier to fly in light conditions. Haven’t you got a 5 or 6 mtr span glider yet? ..........Shame on you
Oh,……the attached photo is for Bill’s benefit. Seemingly he fears not seeing my “Happy smiling face” :roll:
He’s a strange one that Bill. Nice but Scottish,…….’nuff said! :lol:
Keith
