Hi there,
Sunday, the wind forecast is West (so far).
Any one interrested for a trip at the slope ?
I hope this is correct as I have my new ASW22 to fly !  :D
And saturday, I'm busy  :(

BUGGER  :x
Sorry Fred don't think i'll be able to make it.I have some friends visiting on saturday and staying the night.By the time they leave on Sunday it'll probably be too late to go anywhere.
Could really do with some flying aswell.Have been able to do nothing model related for what seems like ages!  :(  :(

So far I should be able to make it, but I will probably be late, 2.30, maybe 3pm. Looking at the weather, the wind is coming in the right direction but it looks a bit strong. But I'll probably go anyway even if it is strong.

Was just looking at www.xcweather.co.uk the wind looks like it will be pritty strong tomorrow. Force 5. But I'll probably go anyway even if I don't fly. Not sure my gliders can handle such winds. But we'll see  :D .

Well.. Yesterday was windy (Alan recorded some 60km/h wind) and very cold !
Some snow at the top of the mountains.
Well I had some flying with the Destiny, but the landing / launching zone was very bumpy ! After that, well, no problems ! But very dangerous close to you because of the turbulences. That's why I haven't flew the ASW22, don't knowing how she will react at launching...
No flights with the LO100 as well, as in this conditions, you need a good launcher !

Alan, did not flew, not knowing his Pilatus enough to have a go in the turbulence. Next time !  :D
Well, other than that, that was an interresting very cold day at the slope !
