glider fly-in, tountinna

<< < (5/7) > >>

DaveMc:
Hi all,

That was a great day! Thanks to all who travelled to attend. The gliding was non stop all day long.

Now I need to source a glider that will thermal on a gnats fart as my so-called floater aint up to the job on days like last saturday.

Once again ralph arrived with part of a lovely model just to tease us all....;) Nice swift there ralph.. pity you left the feckin wing joiner in cork!! The lift changed from thermal to slope in the afternoon and you could have flown it. We could have all had a right good drool at it. lol.

The bunzzzz were well recieved. However a couple of issues arose. Firstly the supplier of said bunzzz did not expect such a large and ravenous herd of wild mountainy men. They did not last gliding time on the back side of a thermal.
Secondly a roumer spread across the slope faster than a swift with no joiner bar that some of the afore mentioned wild mountainy men had more than one bun... :shock:  :shock:  :shock: !!!

I will say nothin.....

Great craic lads. role on the next one.

Hi Dave, I only had one really the other was for the pilot in the Swift.

I'll be ordering an Alpina( for me own stock) if you are interested in keeping the shipping cost down, give Barrett a buzz and see, 5m for sure

Thanks again

Ralph
