Gliders > Slope Soaring
So Who is traveling this Weekend?
Alan_Perse:
That was a good days flying alright. A pity it was so cold some times when the sun went in. If it had been a bit warmer it would have been perfect. Here are some of the pics I took.
OOPS
JohnPearson:
Well what a weekend, one day mist every where, next day fantastic weather, that's slope soaring! A big thankyou to the slope rebels, once again, a great weekend of craic, flying and good company. Here are a few photos from the weekend.
Once again, thanks guys!
andrew wallace:
great weekend :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
thanks guys :D
Fred:
Sorry, a bit late on that one :oops: , but once again, thank you all for coming, with special thanks to the guys who come from far away, like Cork and NI to participate to the event :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Well, boys fly planes, men do slope soaring! :P We actually manage to check that was true on Staurday, when rain, sleet, strong winds, did not stopped around 12 pilots to try to fight the elements for some flying! :clap:
Eventually, nature won when the clouds we were flying in all day got ticker! We then moved slightly below it on the West Slope for a bit more flying before calling off the day. Nobody died frozen, but that got close! :P
The next day was glorious! With sun, West winds, and again, around 10 pilots :clap:
Everything flew that day, PSS, gliders etc (even a cheater if I remember! :P ).
We also had a good display from Keith and John with the Vector + smoke canisters :clap: Red, is definitively the colour to go with! Nice to see something different, that was fun, and we had a good laugh!
As the day goes, the conditions were even better (burnt my face by the way!).
A bit of a pain for Mr Wallace to land in a tree for the "last one of the day" :( but the glider was recovered in a team effort from those branches. Damaged glider in the process, but nothing too serious.
Talking about crashes etc, now I think of it, I don't think we had any broken gliders this week end ? Nice considering the numbers of flights we manage to do in the 2 days! :clap:
Another great sight, was John's DreamLiner. Looks really good in the sky! Watched the video quickly, and that's scale flying! :clap: :clap:
Once again, lots of things to say, but better to come and live it with us! :P
Once again, thanks a lot for all the guys that attended the meeting! :clap: :clap:
I try to pull the photos from my camera later!
Fred:
Hop, recovered my photos! :D
So, here you are, in order of apparence :
Not easy with 5 layers of fabric!! :P
Now, that's the spirit! :clap:
