Looking forward to seeing you all in Brinny next weekend for our second event this year.

SW winds so good for towing and electrics.

See you there

Ralph

Another fantastic weekend!
Thanks Ralph and the CMAC for hosting us, and for everybody for traveling from the whole island, with a few new to me faces (hi Dave )
Plenty of flying done, and a very very hot Saturday and Sunday cut slightly short by a burst of rain and the panic to dry up everything

Here are a few photos and a very short video of Ralph landing his K18

Many thanks for the invitation and the hospitality for a newbie like me.

Teresa and I had a fantastic time and I was so chuffed to finally get the Ka8 maidened ….and my first aerotow too!  Thanks to  Fred for  being gentle on me and Ralph for keeping me right and getting me up…..and back down again, in one piece too

I loved it and hopefully the first of many trips to meet up with a great bunch.

And congrats on your first tows! Not an easy exercise to do, and you managed it like a pro!

Hello to everyone who made this event a success. I would like to thank Fred for all his efforts over the weekend providing so many of us with the perfect tow. It was great to see lots of new faces from the CMAC who normally shy away for this event and also to our newest member David who had several firsts this weekend. Already looking forward to the next meeting in Sept 20/21st.
here are a few random pics I took over the weekend.

Cheers

Ralph
