Slope Soaring / Re: ISR September 20/21 2025
« on: September 19, 2025, 17:21:52 PM »
Sunday looks like an ok day...windy but sunny.
I have the Vulcan ready to try it on the slope...what time do you guys normally get up there ?
My phone is 0830105263 ..perhaps someone could text and let me know what slope and times ?
Thanks
Richard

Slope Soaring / New to Sloping in Ireland
« on: August 24, 2025, 10:39:14 AM »
Hi
I am a regular flyer at Roundwood MFC and am also thinking of getting back into slope soaring .
Kilakee and Mt leinster appear to be the most accessible slopes for me to get to ( I am in Rathdrum ) ...can anyone tell me where i can find out when members are likely to be up there ?
I have a large 80" Vulcan which has flown a few times as an EDF power model but is a bit of a bugga to get off a grass runway so I am planning on converting it to be a pure slope glider ( should be spectacular !
) ...other than removing the engines and landing gear etc I am not sure what changes I need to make...should the C 0f G be moved forward a bit for sloping (?) ..and should I block off the air intakes (?)..any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Richard
