Hey Joe,

A trip to Mount Leinster or Keelakee ?

Was thinking Killakee! I need to get some Oracover and some epoxy to finish the U2.Could pick that up and head to Killakee for a couple of hours.Looks clear and dry in a decent westerly.It's my turn to go up there.But if you really want to come to Mt Leinster I don't mind   :D

I wish I could come but I'm going to play golf that day and I also have to get ready to go to France next week. But you never know, things can change.

Sorry was out all day.It would be the west slope in Mt Leinster.You've flown it before Fred.Should be flying well tomorrow,probably the same as the first time you came down.I'm happy to go to Mt Leinster if you can loan me enough Oracover to cover one side of a U2 wing :D I prefer Mt Leinster,but thats cause i know it better.It is my turn to go up there.It's really up to you! I don't mind as long as we hang out and do some flying.
Maybe we'll see the Lo100 tomorrow.Fingers crossed for you Alan maybe it'll work out! and David? you around?

I'm hooked on combat :x  :x  :D  :D
Good fun on saturday.Jim and Mervin were there too.Jim flew a bigish Multiplex glider and a strange pss looking glider.both flew very well.
Fred flew his Fox for a bit until elevator problems downed it.No damage thankfully.Had to land with no elevator though  :? I flew my Axle once or twice.Am get to like that glider  :D
Most of the day was spent flying our Skuas(epp flying wing type thing) combat styley! deadly crack! We were surprised how hard it was to crash into each other at the start of the day but,by the evening we were getting the hang of it! Lots of fun! Can't wait for a day with really good lift.Then you will die Mr Marie  :lol:  :lol:

Hi There,

Yep, that was a good fun day !
So, we need more combat wings to be made now !  :D

We had some fun trying to catch the other wing... Not that easy ! But that's a very good training !

Joe, you are going to die in the next combat session !!
