Post by: bearpjk on March 07, 2010, 10:48:05 AM

Hi Fellas,
looking forward to meeting you all up on Mt. L next weekend. At the moment I am looking for a campsite or B&B close by.
Whats the  long range forecast looking like, never having flown there before I am not sure what to bring?? I think lighter small planes with an electric as backup might do it?

Saw the Farmers weather forcast for the week ahead. Looks like the weather could be perfect for the fly-in  :D  :D. But probably to early to tell.

No Dave you haven’t missed anything,………yet. Next weekend is our PSS glide-in. :D

I think we should all get an ISR “T” shirt and wear it at the Glide-In. On the back should be printed

“The answers are:-

1/ As far as you can see it.

2/About 100Km/h

3/ Anything from €100 to over €5000”

I was up on Big L today and there were hundreds (well, may be not quite hundreds) of sightseers and I got totally fed up with their same old questions.

I have to admit I wasn’t in a particularly good mood anyway because I couldn’t find any lift! :evil:

As Fred says the 3 of us coming down from the North are staying at the Moss House. John P and I stayed there for last years fly in and it's very reasonable and of course the bar is VERY close................................right below us!

In answer to your questions about what planes to fly Peter. :?:

At the moment the wind directions seems to be set for westerly’s on Sunday. The west ridges (there are three on Mt. Lienster )all produce very good lift. :)  If the wind speed is at least 10Km/h any light model will fly with ease. If the wind is higher than 20Km/h, almost anything will fly.
(I once invited my mother-in-law to try flying her broomstick off Big L. She declined my offer! :!: )

Thanks for your replies

Booked into Moss House, Pub sounded good :lol: Fred & Bill
Sounds like plenty of slope choices, should be great.
Keith I like your idea for your tee shirt, but you forgot one question: How do you land it ?     My usual reply is "right next to me "      which clears the area fast!!
cheers

Post by: Happy Days on March 08, 2010, 15:13:04 PM

Alan,
I wouldn’t be able to put your suggestion for a fourth answer on my T shirt.
(Knowing me, I probably would crash it.) :oops:

Peter,
That’s a good answer. Invariably onlookers want to picnic right in the middle of the landing area don’t they. :!:

The forecasts are for SW winds on Sunday now………..Not such a good slope, but if it’s sunny we might get some thermal flying. :?:

Well for all you Top Gun fans, Peter(Maverick) Carson will have a big F14 for the PSS event, with him. This is an electric model, However brave Peter will try it of the slope, and before you ask! yes it has a swing wing system.

Fred,
  what is the forecasted wind speed for the weekend, all my pss models are a bit on the heavy side :(
Aidan are you going this weekend?

Ralph

Title: PSS 13/14th March
Post by: joe on March 10, 2010, 09:58:49 AM

HI Ralph.
Looks like Saturday will be around 15-20 Km/h. Sunday looks better more like 25km/h.
Sat looks Northwest which is in between the west and north slope but we can probably make it work. Sunday looks like a westerly which should be good.

Title: PSS 13/14th March
Post by: Happy Days on March 10, 2010, 13:37:27 PM

Ralph on the West or North slopes,………..if the wind speed is greater than 20Km/h I’d be confident you’ll be able to fly your models, unless their wing loading is more than about 20oz/sq ft. Then they'd struggle a bit.

K.

Title: PSS 13/14th March
Post by: Happy Days on March 11, 2010, 04:49:39 AM

I’m seeing predicted wind speeds of 29Km/h for Sunday. On the west slopes that = good lift conditions. :wink:
The only slight potential prob is the question of cloud cover, :?:  although most sites are predicting only small amounts of low cloud. :)

Time to start deep cycling those Ni-mh batteries lads. Make sure they’ll hold enough current for a hard days flying! :D

Title: PSS 13/14th March

Forecast for weekend still looking good? Trying to decide what to charge and bring!  :?:

Title: PSS 13/14th March
Post by: joe on March 12, 2010, 14:06:10 PM

Still looking dry. I was up there yesterday in what was supposed to be 20km/h Was more up there as you'd expect. Lots of lift. The wind is looking more north-west for tomorrow. So a little off the for the north slope but will probably be fine.
Sunday is looking more westerly. Should be fine for the west slope around 20km/h. Wind supposed to die off in the evening of both days.
Hope that helps??!

No, not that much really... Car too small (actually looking for a new one right now !).

Getting excited by the week end !!!

Nothing finished, working day and night at work for the past 3 days... Tonight, plan is to at least finish the F15, and get the Crystal ready too (just in case...)

Title: PSS 13/14th March
Post by: Happy Days on March 12, 2010, 15:46:48 PM

Bill, I wouldn’t bother with the Mudslide, don’t think there will be enough lift for 4X flying this weekend. :(

At the moment the winds are predicted to lighter than we’d hoped, and slightly “between” slopes. Have to wait and see which slopes produce the best lift.

We may have to walk to the top of the north slope, or to the highest west slope, about 10 minutes walking at 45 degrees. (A good pair of boots would be useful!)
Feeling Fit? :shock:

Hi Bill

you need a big truck for all those models, I need an air lift and parachute drop over big L for all my planes

model drop over big L

Title: PSS 13/14th March
Post by: billscottni on March 12, 2010, 16:17:43 PM

Hi Keith,
We're coming down in a large van so space NOT a problem. :D  :D

I'd hate to be down there and not have it if the conditions were right :D  :shock:

Fred, I'll remember your bags!

Title: PSS 13/14th March
Post by: Happy Days on March 13, 2010, 06:40:30 AM

Well, here we are guys. The first morning of the PSS Fly-In. I’ve been looking forward to this and particularly I’m looking forward to seeing a monster from the North. (No, not Bill Scott’s belly :roll: ) I’m talking about a flying monster………..Enter John’s B-52! :)

But the all important question is………Will we have enough lift? :?:

Well, most predictions are for relatively light winds today, and only slightly stronger winds tomorrow. :(

At the moment, at my location………..

Wind Speed = 12km/h

Direction = From the North West

Temperature = Zero degrees C.

Atmospheric pressure = 1034mB steady (Not the best omen for high winds)

If we transpose these conditions on to Big L. I recon there’d be moderate lift on the West slope. The fact that the wind wouldn’t be hitting the slope ‘straight on’ wouldn’t help matters. I predict High wing loaded models would struggle to stay in the air. (Hard luck Ralph)

However we could be just experiencing a pre dawn lull in the wind.

Oh, and I nearly forgot :oops: …………Visibility? (Always useful when flying)

The is a small area of cloud over the top half of the mountain at the moment. However that should dissipate during the course of the morning. (It’s just early morning mist really.)

Next update, in an hours time.

Keith

You have a model Horten, Peter? We must take some photo’s of it and post them on the forum. A friend of ours in Germany, Lothar, is into Hortens big time. (Emphasis on the word BIG!)

Sorry Ralph,……… You might like to bring one heavier model, just in case?

As to the weather?

Well, apart from the sun having risen and the temperature also coming up a couple of degrees, everything else remains the same.
There is a general cloud cover over the sky and Big L. still has a bank of cloud over it’s top half. By midday the slopes at least should be clear.

I hope to be on the slopes around 12 or 13.00, so I’ll look forward to seeing all your happy, smiling faces then! :D

Post by: Happy Days on March 14, 2010, 06:52:44 AM

You haven’t got time for breakfast! the best lift is predicted for this morning with the wind dieing off by mid afternoon.
Having said that, at the moment at my place, the air speed is almost zero :cry:

There is general cloud cover over the sky.

Temperature = Minus 1degree C. :shock:  (That wasn’t supposed to happen) with a slight ground frost.

Atmospheric pressure = 1034mB steady.
(Again this does not bode well for strong winds.) We just need them to get up above that critical 20Km/h limit.

The sun is just starting to poke it’s head above the horizon. We’re nearly at the Spring Equinox so it should have enough power in it, at this latitude, to have some serious effect on the atmosphere. COME ON SUN!

Big L. is in the middle of the picture. If you look carefully you might just make out the radio mast.

Yea’ blue sky here now with strong sunshine. Not much in the way of wind but I agree that an early start would probably be best. (Early bird catches the worm,….and all that! :P )

I’ll probably be up there about 10.00.
No point in staying at home, the heating’s broke.! :shock:  The guy that was supposed to fix it yesterday didn’t turn up. :evil:  (You can’t get the staff these days you know,....... you just can’t get the staff!!)

Post by: Happy Days on March 14, 2010, 20:34:38 PM

Well, what a good time. As always, it was a great pleasure to meet the people who I’ve previously only heard of, and to renew the  acquaintances’ of those I’ve already met. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. :D

Rather quiet in the lift department on the first day, :(  but Sunday afternoon  proved to redeem my faith in Big L. to ‘deliver the goods.’
Alas not quite enough lift for “The Big One” :!:  but I think most of everything else flew. Including a strange little ‘Bat Like’ model from Peter K, a picture of which I’m posting for the main benefit of a certain German pilot.
(What do you think of it Lothar?)

(http://www.gliderireland.net/forum/images/uploads/Happy%20Days/Lothar.jpg)

All sorts of models were there. From the super fast, to the super, and right down to the super silly. A blue V tailed Thingy that, having flown three or four time promptly went on strike and refused to fly any more, and crashed! ( I’ve since found out that the battery had an intermittent open circuit)

I’d like to thank all who came over the two days, too numerous to mention but who’s photos will, no doubt, be posted  later on this forum. (I didn’t take many picies, and what I did take didn’t come out very well. I couldn’t be bothered to put my glasses on when I was taking them, so I’ve “cut off” peoples heads :roll: ….Silly me!)

We stopped in the cafe at the SuperValu in Bunclody before startingthe long haul back North. Can thoroughly recommend the burgers :D  :D

Thanks again for an excellent weekend,shame about the wind, but obviously older than God,(but richer than Croesus!) Keith couldn't get the necessary sacrifices made in time :twisted:  :twisted:

Hi everyone,

First of all, thanks a million for everybody to come at the event !  :clap:  :clap:  People as far as Kerry, NI, Cork etc, hope you all had a good time !

Wind was a bit marginal for the biggest/heaviest of the PSS, but big winds are already in order for the next event !
Lots of flying done anyway, and I hope everybody pulled lots of flight time over the week end (I did !  :D )

So, here are a few photos, sorry, none of in flight models, my camera is not good enough for that !

Video to follow relatively soon !

Anyone know where to get one of those Vectors and what sort of money?

Try here Ralph:

£320 plus carriage

You should also have a look at the Typhoon on the same site

Post by: rogallo on March 16, 2010, 09:56:04 AM

Yes I saw that but was it Ray was the guy who had it said he got it for around €280 that is a big difference and shipping from UK quoted at £35, I could fly with Ryan Aer for a lot less!
Thanks anyhow

Ed Coveney was the guy who was flying it. Appears on here as Eiretime.

I have  his e-mail at home Ralph. I'll drop him a line and ask him to contact you. He may have gone direct to RCRM the manufacturer

By the way, we have a dealership agreement with RCRCM for Ireland  :D
We are a bit late on the orders, but if anyone wants some of their gliders, contact myself or Joe (refurbising the website...)

Title: Aerial Vid
Post by: billscottni on March 17, 2010, 22:37:32 PM

Pete got talking to a paraglider pilot during the PSS event. The guy said he had taken some aerial footage of us flying and would forward it on.

It's up on Youtube at:

first footage of us is at 2:20
