Thanks a million for the comment Peter  ! :oops:
You can't really beat a vintage glider in flight !

Well, time to think of the next one !  :D  :D

Thanks Fernando for the photos !  :clap:
That was a great day (still smiling...) and I think you saw one of the best place to fly gliders in the East coast of Ireland ! (no shame, I can say that !  :wink:  :P )
Looking forward to the videos now ! Like a child in a xmas shop !!

I need to get more videos out of the camera... but youtube reduces too much the quality.

In the meantime i was wondering, are the next days going to be ok to fly?
I cant imagine 4 days at home and not being able to fly at least in one.

I'm got one shockflyer at least i can do torque rolls inside house! :)
