Fred didn't disappoint and travelled from Dublin to be at the most exciting day in a long time on big L, little keith was there with bells on, Keith and I were fashionably late and Joe arrived to back up the team.... Well what a great day.... We watched Fred pollute a perfectly good coffee with sour milk and then..... Em ....... Well and then ...... Eh we looked at Fred's flashing brake lights and we then..... Eh ...... Oh yea took a photo ...... And went home ;-( crackin day all, thanks..... We must bring the gliders next time and do some flying ;-)

You've a real gift for the descriptive writing there Keith nice one mate...
as a fisherman for over 30 years now the stories do get bigger and better as the years go on.... I think its a bloke thing rather than exclusive to any one hobby ;-)
fair play Keith, your slopey exploits comfort those of us stuck in jobs not being able to get out.....
Mind you I need to learn how to fly first but sure that will come

Trainer / Painting an Easy Glider
« on: November 26, 2012, 15:22:10 PM »
Hi All,
Has any one tried painting an easyglider before?
I wanted to get some advise before trying anything that might damage the foam, I'm thinking of standard car sprays from Halfords but..... don't want to wreck the body. Any advice?

« on: November 25, 2012, 23:45:38 PM »
Thanks to big keith this weekend for the expert hand in building the easy glider I got from Anthony recently.
It's up and working now so just thinking of fitting an engine if I can get one and will have to head to Kildare some Saturday to get a few lessons.
Cheers keith appreciate the help mate.

Wanted / Radio Gear Wanted
« on: October 04, 2012, 14:14:12 PM »
Hi All,
before I go to the web for a set of radio gear I just wanted to check if someone would have a 2.4Ghz 8+ channel radio gear they want to shift?
I'm new in the flying game so need an entry level set up for low cost to get me started.
Thanks
Stephen

Hi All,
A massive thanks to you all for the crack on Saturday. Myself and my young lad, Tom, went up to "have a looK" and to have been made feel more welcome we couldn't have been, what a genuinely great day.
To have had the pleasure and shared in the fun of the day was one thing but to have had the oppotunity to acutally fly a glider for the first time was a true privilege, :shock:
Andrew / Fred many many thanks, I'm truly hooked and now looking for an easy glider ;-) if anyone knows of one going? PS they are indestructable as we proved when Fred just fired the easy glider off the slope and watched it smash into the deck while Andrew was looking on wondering what part of "hold on" could have been interpruted as "GO". :lol: :lol:
To big Keith thanks Mate you've found a genuienly good bunch of heads there bro and to Little Keith thanks for the education and the fun on the day,
Having looked at the photo's I think the B&B was the crack that night. Thanks lads from Stephen and "Young Tom (9)"

Wanted / Nitro or electric
« on: September 26, 2012, 22:58:54 PM »
All,
I'm looking to maybe purchase a nitro or electric plane, with or without radio gear, I'll be at the glider gig at mount Leinster on Saturday so willing to check out what people may have.
Thanks, I'm new to the RC flying game but not RC models, a hi wing model might be a better shot for me getting started. Please pm with prices and pics before the weekend thanks
