Thanks..all dates are in the diary and I will try to make all of them at Mount L . I suspect the Vulcan would not be an ideal candidate for an aerotow so will miss out on Cork.

We do PSS towing :)

You just need a tow hook installed and off we go :) We can try at the field when days gets better

Photo of me towing a big phantom. And a few others i towed up. Everything can be towed up

Yep, let me ask the guys from the Club in France. It was flying like a rocket! A bit like mine (small one from a HET kit)

Was its maiden flights, but did look very good in the air!

Thanks Fred..they both look great but I think I would go for the bigger one so that I can see it 
I will have a search on line and see what plans I can come up with ...could be the next project !

Wonderful day gliding at Tountinna yesterday.  Many thanks Shannon MFC for hosting and looking after us all so well. One to remember.

It was a great day indeed Peter and we were delighted to see so many fliers from different parts of the country and countries!!
The fact that the weather was so kind to us played a big part in the great turnout.
Looking forward to doing it all again and hopefully seeing lots more at the next one.
