Hi there;
I just arrived in Ireland this morning from Canada and would like to make Tountinna for Saturday. I have my 1.8m Pulsar (model in avatar) and a 40" Wraith sloper permanently residing in Ireland.   I'm currently in Dublin 
I'm wondering if I would be qualified to fly, both models are below 1kg.  My MAAC (Canadian model association ) insurance is valid as long as this is OK with MACI.   
I had a great time at Tountinna in 2018, even though it was a bit foggy and had variable winds.

I would appreciate a lift down from Dublin if  anyone has room for an old octogenarian. I'm staying with my sister in Stillorgan.

Hey John, welcome back!

Not sure yet if I’ll make it this weekend, but if I do, happy to give you a lift.
I’m in churchtown, so not too far from Stillorgan.

Thanks very much Fred:
Weather looks like strong winds and rain for Tountinna tomorrow. A bit much for me so I'll give it a skip. 
My 2m RES Mayfly and 1971 Free Flight A/2 are nearing completion for kitting through Hummingbird Model Products
in addition to my E 36 Blizzard.   https://hummingbirdmodelproducts.com/e36-electric-ff-power-models

Maybe we'll get a chance to fly at Killalkee some evening.

That’s a pity John, had hoped to see you on the slope tomorrow. Enjoy your holidays.

Hopefully, you’ll be there Fred, looking forward to seeing you.

Regards, Gerry B

By the way, this is the forecast at the moment, for TT tomorrow.  A decent W breeze, but no rain.

I can only do my best……😂😂😂

Hi Lads. I won’t be there today. The winds are a bit to strong for my liking. Hope you have a good time.
