Hi Ralph,

Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend at this date, as we have the visit of Michel Leroyer coming to fly in Ireland that week end  :!:

Bugger!  :(

Hi Ralph,

It seems that my fellow Wexfordite flyers are all abandoning the Rebel County fly-in this year. :(  

I've never been there before. Where is the meeting point? :roll:
(Oh, and one more question..........are the natives friendly?)

Hi Ralph, The weather looks to be set for rather calm winds on Sunday.
I'm hopless in low wind contitions, as you may remember from last September's fly in :oops: It's the planes' fault of course, it keeps falling out of the sky!
So I'll have to miss the pleasure of your, and others, company this time, and look forward to the next occasion. :)

Keith.

p.s. if you're coming to the ISR fly-in in May could you bring some of your mums' buns with you :D  Fred tells me they are very Yummie! (Oh,... and it would be nice to see you again as well.)

What a day, Winds NW dry and sunny :D  :D  :D
10 cars 14 pilots and 1 spectator.
The venue chosen on the morning was the back of Clara, near millstreet. Lift was not bad at all, with a constant 15 mph all day. Lots of flying and only 4 photos, some one else took them and I'll try lay my hands on them.
Luke Culley and Chris V. S. were the welcome visitors and as always we were happy to welcome them.

Looking forward to ML in two weeks time.

Fred, do you have any of that ply you make teh kits with ? Les is looking for a sheet of 2mm and 3 mm if you do??

See you all in 2 weeks
