For Sale / Hangar 9 1/4 scale piper J3
« on: May 26, 2024, 14:11:03 PM »
Howdy,
Selling my H9 piper cub, 1/4 scale.
Come with all servos etc, just add engine. Was used with an OS BGX. 2.6m if I recall.
But! In need of TLC on the covering really. Fuselage covering is alright, but like an idiot, poked 2 holes in the wings during transport
200€
Photo with the guy is from the brochure!

Hey Joe,
Not flown unfortunately, just 3 test launches as there was no wind for the PSS day, but got a special prize for it
Will fly it at Mount Leinster whenever the weather permits

Sorry to hear that Bill, hope you got better!
Yesterday, sun came out, and we left the slope at 18.30 after some last flights with the asw15. My good old friend
Was a brilliant day, at least for me anyway, with plenty of flying and very good company!
Today, we ended up 3 of us at the west slope. Wind was a strong SW, so that gave some odd conditions. But that what makes slope soaring interesting!
Nice flight with the asw15, Ralph with his mini Ellipse, and Chris his Micro Quark.
Left early, but with a smile! Good weekend!
Here are a few more photos. And some galaxies from the B&B with my new toy
Next weekend, Kerry for a week of slope soaring with the Frenchies, followed by the Macon PSS competition.
See you all in June!

Slope Soaring / Mount Leinster Meeting - 13-14 April
« on: April 13, 2024, 14:43:51 PM »
So, here we go again!
Pretty windy, and had a big shower, but so far, 10 pilots showed up from all over the Country
A bunch of flights done, now having a good social catch up. Blue sky is coming our way for an even better day!

Slope Soaring / Re: First meeting Mount L this weekend
« on: March 24, 2024, 22:03:20 PM »
Thanks all for coming over the 2 days for the first meeting of the year!
Saturday was cold and breezy, but plenty of flying done
Sunday was much calmer as planned, but unfortunately, rain predictions were correct, so as the wind shifting to South in the afternoon. At around 12 ish, slowly but surely, but if rain started, and wind slowly moved south. We all call it a day at 14.00.
Anyway, another very good weekend seeing old friends and some new ones!
Looking forward to the next meeting already!

It’s growing on me
Yellow and silver were the first prototypes. Mine will be the second version, only one made, dark Blue with white markings

Cheers Ralph 
So far, happy. Covered the elevators and painted them. Doesn’t look too bad at all.
I’m using paint samples and a tube is supposed to cover 1m2. Not bad for 2€! Looks very close to the scale color.
Drying now, photos later
