Well John & I were mad enough to go out and fly today in marginal & b***y freezing conditions!. Nevertheless a good day out
-
Well don’t just leave us all in suspenders by simply saying you went out for a flight! :roll:
What did you fly? Where did you fly from? What was the wind speed? How long were you out for? :?:
Come on Bill, spill the beans!!! And more to the point, where are the picies??? :!:

Winds light 7 - 10 mph. John flew his Albatross thermal model (in ppics above), and I flew a Zagi LE. Flew at the Bowl near Larne.
Out for a couple of hours and flew for about an hour. Car temp gauge said 2C when I got back in to it!

And very nice too. Well done you guys. :clap:
I quite envy you, I haven’t flown a glider for……. must be over a month. :cry:
The Big L is covered with thick snow, I doubt I’ll be flying there again this year.
I’ll have to content myself with playing with some EDF’s……….well, it’s better than nothing! :)

As long as it's a model in the air and thumbs on tx sticks it counts - even on a sim!

Well done guys !
Sorry I was unable to make it , but as you know Sundays are my days to entertain my little rascels.
All summer it was difficult to get Bill up to the slopes and now in the winter months the Big Scottish pilots is up on the Highlands.
Keep it up Bill and I hope all goes well with your operation today.
