No flying tomorrow!?
The wind must be too strong no?

Hi Fernando,
Thats what we thought today! I met up with some friends from the Shankill club (www.srfc.net) and we went to Kilakee. We had a few foamies but it was just to windy and turbulent for them. We went home past the lake at Lugala mountain... WOOOOOOoooooooooooeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

We flew our combat foamies here for a couple of hours of high adrenaline zig zag frenzy... the kind of stuff that keeps ya young!

I have to say, the conditioins in Lugala were at crazy (good) with absolutely vertical lift and surprisingly smooth. I ran half the ballast that I had on when I couldn't fly in Kilakee but had a 100kmh foamie to play with

Awesome!!! At least it made worthy the trip.

Tomorrow i´ll probably go for for a ride, just in case i'll take the wing in the car.

Where is Lugala lads

eheh!

Like i said i went for a ride and passed in Kelakee, it sure was windy!
I tried to put the poor wing in the air... it was missing some weight i think.

In the end i packed and drive around those roads and enjoyed the view.

There was someone more ahead in the road flying a glow plane, big. It seemed a cessna. It was on the air but the wind was pushing it around like a leaf.

I did get up to Kilakee for a while this afternoon - breezy and cold but flew my Falco V. I am busy with work now for the next three weekends so no flying for me for a while!! See you all next month sometime hopefully. Good flying!

Got up to Kilakee today (having a quite day at work) with 1.2m fling. Westerly, bit brisk at times but great flying and sun was shining

. Had the sky to myself except for a few clouds and some crows that flew overhead for a while.
Put in about an hour, few hairy landings into the heather at speed, no damage

.

Wouldn't be around this weekend, but should catch up with y'all following w'end weather permitting.

Cheers
David

Finnally i got the cable to connect my camera to the PC.
So here goes some photos from Bray.

I also have some small videos, i'll see if uploading them to youtube or something similar the quality is acceptable.

Nice photos Fernando,
I missed you the day you went to Bray. I had a family commitment and only got to talk to Peter. I had to head off just as Joe and Fred arrieved. We will meet before too long I guess.
Keep up the photography, it is great for my enthusiasm
