Hi, I'm new in this forum but not in RC gliders, it would be nice to meet you and fly together, can you provide the coordinates of the location you'll meet? or even the point in google maps. Thank you.

Welcome Joyvel ,
 
                      what type of gliders do you fly? We are a mixed bunch flying everything from foamies to big scale models. See you in a few weeks time.

I have also a mix, from foam to balsa classic construction and even a 4 m wingspan glider which is my favorite.

Hi Gerry and everyone else,
       what a weekend, Friday had great thermal weather, plenty of flying and fun was had. Sat was a bit more challenging with the wind coming from all sorts of places but we still flew. Sunday was a washout!

Special mention must be made to our own Peter who tirelessly searched for Kevin Barrys model for well over 1 hour and came back with the model in the pouring rain, Thank you Peter.

Looking forward to Killaloe at the end of the month, hopefully.

Glad it was found! And hope the rain didn't do it much harm.
