Sept 2010 Glide in

<< < (10/12) > >>

Fred:
And now the fun part !  :D

Here is a photo of the ASW15 after my landing... Yep, landed that thing with a few less bits than when I launched it  :D
That was tense, but manage to bring it back after I regain some "controls" after the impact.
Reflexes kicked in after the big bang, and after a dive, managed to stabilise the thing, and went for a high speed low pass (after the recovery, lost a bit of altitude  :P ), and could not believe what I saw !
Even managed to do a few passes to prepare the landing as I wanted to at least save the fuselage!

Anyway, all good in the end, shit happen, and with a few hours work, will be like new !  :D

Shame we did not had a video camera, but here it is :



And finally, John launch of the Crystal.. In slow motion on that one as that was funny !

Hey Bill,

This is a T30 if I'm not mistaken.
Gerry's glider. Flew beautifully  :clap:

Hi all,

Looks like a great weekend. Sorry i missed it. I have created a monster here with work. I knew making the buns so nice was a bad idea. Also the stork will be making an approach on runway 1 very soon indeed, So my hands are well and truely full. I keep digging that hole deeper and deeper  8-[

Fingers crossed for next time...

Maybe the indoor in cork if its on this year.. was a great laugh last time.

Keep the faith you crazy guys.

Happy Days:
From the video I think it’s pretty clear that John P has fallen head over heals in love with your Crystall, Fred. (He always was rather impulsive :roll: )

And Dave, it seems, is about to take delivery of,……..not a Grunau Baby,………but a David type baby!!! :shock:  
Do let us all know when it arrives, Dave. I’m sure we’re all trusting it makes a good approach and a safe landing.
What with work, flying, and making delicious buns I’m surprised you have the time, let alone the energy, to make babies. (Obviously you’re a more talented fellow that I gave you credit for! :?: )

Good Luck to you and herself Dave. :D

hi bill, yea , that t 30, slingsby 'prefect' is mine. i scaled up an old radio modeller plan to give me a 3.2m span model. colour scheme is of a dutch reg a/c. i started the model in 1995 and finished it this year for retroplane but i didn't go. last sat was it's best outing so far, it likes a good breeze/ good lift kind of a day but it doesn't scratch very well.
