Ok thanks.
If i went there it would probably be on sunday, has saturday i have my agend filled with some visits as i'm still searching for a place to stay.

But, my Swift II is ready, but could i fly it over there? I'll probably have to use a rock to increase weight, it has litle more than 300gr. :)
I've fixed a couple of stuff that was damaged during the travel and i've charged the pack. It's ready!

If wind is too strong tomorrow (Saturday), perhaps I'll try and get up on Sunday as well.  It looks like Sunday might be the better day.

:mrgreen:
Well, I rarely saw someone in Keelakee before 1.30pm...

When we go to Mt Leinster, we are ready to fly at 10am to have a good day of flying.

But I'm not Irish, so that don't bother me  :mrgreen:

I was used to go fly at 08am or earlier to be able to get no wind. :)
This for parkflyers of course.

Will aim for about 12:30 on Sunday. Hopefully the wind will be more west than south-west.
Looking forward to getting a few decent flights with the new machine!  :D

Yep! Need to do some test flights Alan.
A bit worried about the wind. It looks like south-west. Hopefully we can fly ok!

South-west is generally flyable at Killakee.  The slope faces more SW than west so it should be OK.  Due south is generally the problem. Did'nt get out today myself - so hopefully be on the slope tomorrow (Sunday).  Can't make it our before 2.00ish though.

Fingers crossed for some flying at last!

OK -  after reading this thread, my guests from the UK are now aiming to be here for the first get-together (30th March)!.  They will be here from 27th to the 31st, and staying (mostly) with me in Kerry.  Can we perhaps discuss a venue for the 30th, so that we can try and finalise their plans?

Thanks

Chris

OK, picking up what Fred mentioned over on another thread, it seems Mt. Leinster is one spot that works in ANY wind direction?  If that is true, I doubt very much there are many others like that!

We certainly cannot make such a boast in Co. Kerry.  It would be essential to meet in a central spot and make a final choice on the day here.  That said, the quality of the slopes that would then be available are world-class in terms of lift.

I would love to hear from the Cork guys?  Are there for instance alternatives to Old Head of Kinsale if the wind is not blowing SW?

And from the Shannon guys, at to the suitablility of Killakee (I'm sure I read somewhere that Killakee works in any wind direction?)?
