Misceleanous / Flying while on Honeymoon in Ireland

Hi Gerry
Thanks for the response. Sounds like you fly slope gliders. Something I havent done since I lived in California (late 70's) but I really miss it! We had a hill that would allow us to fly 1/2a planes converted. We could fly all day and do aerobatics. Not too much slope soaring here in North Texas! LOL!!! A sloper would be pretty easy to transport but I need to check into frequencies and such. I fly Mode 1 so more than likely I will need to bring a radio. I had considered buying one after arriving but Mode 1 is not that common here. Not sure about there?

Hi Keith
Thanks for the quick response. I have been active in RC since 1975 and fly all types of planes, IMAC, large electrics, sailplanes, pattern, some scale...I am not sure about transporting something yet but still looking at my options. As to where we will be???My wife says "all over"! We are flying into Dublin and will be renting a car for local travel. We are looking at "looping" around the island. If you would care to see them, I can post a couple of pics of a few planes I fly. Thanks again!

Flying while on honeymoon? Sounds like a great idea!  :clap:

What type of flying were you thinking of Ken, :?:  and what part of Ireland are you going to?

Guys,
 My wife and I will be honeymooning in Ireland during the month of May. Among the things on our list is a flight or 2 while there. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ken and Sharlene
