Many thanks for the invitation and the hospitality for a newbie like me.

Teresa and I had a fantastic time and I was so chuffed to finally get the Ka8 maidened ….and my first aerotow too!  Thanks to  Fred for  being gentle on me and Ralph for keeping me right and getting me up…..and back down again, in one piece too

I loved it and hopefully the first of many trips to meet up with a great bunch.

Another fantastic weekend!
Thanks Ralph and the CMAC for hosting us, and for everybody for traveling from the whole island, with a few new to me faces (hi Dave )
Plenty of flying done, and a very very hot Saturday and Sunday cut slightly short by a burst of rain and the panic to dry up everything

Here are a few photos and a very short video of Ralph landing his K18

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

I have more pics that I iwll post when we egt back. Aprt from a severe thunder storm the day after we arrived the weather has been in the high 20's/low 30's every day. Some cloud but still very warm. Been T shirts and shorts all the way with a couple of instances of needing a jacket. Been made very welcome and the bottle of Irish WHiskey we donated to the raffle went down very well. I'm not on the hill today as I hurt my hip and shoulder yesterday launching myself down the slope along with Richard's Funray !

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
