Title: Sunday on Mt Leinster
Post by: gerryb on October 01, 2019, 16:49:55 PM

Some photos from last Sunday on Mt Leinster.  A great day, lots of flying, one or two showers but nothing major. Good fun and plenty of banter as well. Looking forward to seeing everyone again next year. GB

Oh no!!! With no response to my inquiry I assumed that (for reasons I couldn't imagine) the fly-in was cancelled. Too bad. Times, they are-a changing.

I can remember when, if a certain member of ISR had seen a powered glider at the slope he would have shouted, at the top of his voice (and with a French accent,) "CHEAT!....CHEAT!!"

Oh well, at least you had the power off when flying inverted, Fred. (Hope you didn't land it inverted......Did You?  ??? ??? ??????)

BTW, Nice picture of the inverted flight, Gerry ;). I trust all is well with you?

I was looking at the tail fin. So how do you land the thing?
