I'll probably do either the Saturday or Sunday - which ever looks best weather wise.

Slope Soaring / Wasabi Eco - Building Thread
« on: August 27, 2008, 22:29:27 PM »
Looks good Fred - nice strong wing. 12mm seems a lot for the wing joiner on a model this size - but I guess it its designed for edge of the envelope stuff!

Road trips / Saturday 24 August
« on: August 25, 2008, 19:46:47 PM »
Looks like it was a good day - I was tempted but had already cashed in my glider tokens. Took a look at the weather forecast mid-week and decided Friday was the best day - so spent a couple of hours at Kilakee on Friday afternoon. Wind oblique from NW but lift improved through the afternoon - great flying. Peace and quiet only disturbed intermittently by a power flyer!! Hope to see everyone at Mount Leinster next month - or closer to Dublin next weekend if the weather allows.

Scale / Building a Slingsby Skylark 4
« on: August 13, 2008, 21:11:02 PM »
That's a shame Ron that there are all those issues with the short kit and the plan. I would have thought if one was going to market a short kit you would build or have someone else build a prototype first and iron out these sort of problems. I actually have the Skylark plan too! I was idly thinking of whether it would make a next project, but I decided on a Slingsby Gull 1 instead - but mustn't get ahead of myself. I still have some work to do on the Pilatus B4 although it is coming together now.

Anyone up for gliding tomorrow (Bank Holiday Monday) in the Dublin area? I plan to go to Kilakee - wind looks NW. I aim to get there around 11.00am.

Wonderful gliders - detail on some is amazing. But what an 'abrasive' slope!

Yes - a fantastic day. What a range of gliders and a stunning location. Thanks to Gerry and the Limerick crowd for hosting us on this great slope. Here are a few more pictures....

Slope Soaring / Shame to miss a good opportunity!!!

Hi Gary,
Looked like a great day out my office window - well done on getting out on the slope. No flying for me last weekend as I was away but got some in a at Glencree the weekend before. Was it at Kilakee that the car break in occurred? Too bad..

Road trips / Mt Leinster - 24th May 08
« on: May 23, 2008, 21:49:55 PM »
Hi Guys,
I'm afraid I cannot make it tomorrow as I have stuff to do I cannot get out of - have lots of fun. I hope to get to the MACI glide in next month - probably on the Saturday. Fred - great pictures and video of the last Mount Leinster meeting.

I guess you can add me to your list of glider fliers who also like to sail! Although in my case all I have access to is a very old Heron dinghy that I resurrected and redecked a few years ago. Good to get out on the water though. Looks like you have a nice boat there. Can't beat wooden boats (and gliders!) - although both are a lot of work!
