« Last post by gerryb on September 08, 2026, 13:11:32 PM »

Hi all,
As a result of the very bad weather forecast for next Saturday, 12th, Shannon MFC has decided to postpone the Glider Gathering on Tountinna for the time being.
Hopefully, we will get another chance to meet in the near future.
Regards, Gerry B

For Sale / Gliders for sale

« Last post by Fred on September 06, 2026, 14:38:31 PM »

I need space

For sale:

Reichard Lunak. WS: 4m. 1 spare wing (left if I recall) and spare Canopy. Only work to be done is fix one of the elevator linkage... I wanted to change it, but it is sitting in my bench for 2 years at this stage, so for someone else to replace it. 400€

ISM 1/3 scale Ka8b. ws: 5m. That is my Ka8b! Very light (7.5kgs if I remember). This glider is on racks for a good 4 or 5 years now! New canopy was fitted. I think one of the wing tip yellow faded (was near a window). Come fully equipped, add receiver, and possibly, check those batteries! Haven't touched it in all these years so I might be missing something, but last flights were in tows in Falaise, and no issues. Hangared since, but that is a fab flyer I have to say. 200€

1/4? scale Schweizer 1-26 - I think it's 4 meters, need to check!. Made in Britany. Have it for years! Never flown it. Just gathering dust at this stage. Just add receiver. Come with a normal wing joiner, and a ballasted one for those funny days 400€

Certainly more to come unfortunately!

Well, a few of us ended up on the slope on Friday and had some great flying, sat was okay between the showers, Dinner Sat Night was good with Blu Steaks and creamy curries.
So a good weekend despite the poor forecast.

Hope to see you next month,

Rogallo
