Looking forward to seeing you all in Brinny next weekend for our second event this year.
SW winds so good for towing and electrics.
See you there

6 of us travelled from Ireland, 3 from the North and 3 from the South. We met in Dublin Airport with a mix of models ranging from the Ahi to the Lentus and Funray. Transportation of the boxes with models presented little issues with the airline and off to Munich we went.
A fabulous scenic drive from Munich to Austria and we arrived in Fiss, a small town nestled in the Alps.
The following morning we set off for the cable car for a 5 minute jaunt to the slope.
Due to a lack of wind most flyers needed the use of electric motors to fly including an alpine virgin from Cork who on his first attempt was less than successful not fully appreciating the lack of air at 2,500 meters above sea level. Thunder and lightning suspended play for the day and we retreated to the village for some well deserved R&R

And the other casualty that weekend was Richard with the deadstick landing and hitting the post with his Xcub.
All back and ready to fly again.

At our last towing event in Cork on the Monday, I had borrowed Brendan Shellys towplane to tow the stragglers (Fred) .
Unfortunately I had a misshap which ended up rekitting the fuselage abd a bit of the wing.
Steady work for the last few week have produced a repaired wing and a replacement fuse.
Lesson learned, never borrow a towplane.
Pictures to follow.
