Know someone who thinks they might like to try their hand at gliding, but fears turning the plane into kindling? :?:

Well, think on this; I'll be bringing, to the fly-in, all in the above picture. A 2 channel glider, master Tx, and Slave Tx. (Buddy Box)
The model is quite easy to fly, it's a bit of a floater so it doesn't need gale force winds. And with only elevator and ailerons to control it's not too complicated.

The buddy box removes the chance of the "student pilot" crashing the model. :oops:  I'll do that for them! :lol:

So, if you've got any brothers or sisters, mums and dads, grannies and grandads who'd like to try, they can!

Hey Dave,

Good to see you both  :D  And the buns!!!  :clap:  :P
Hopefully the weather will hold! So far, long forecast looks good for the week end! Hope that hold now!

Don't forget that we will have the first leg of glider racing! Bring something for it (anything will do anyway !  :P  Friendly race!) Hopefully, the weather will be good for this bit of the week end.

Keith, that is really generous of you to do that!  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:
The week end of the glide in, there will be a bicycle gathering at Mt Leinter and around (be carefull on your way up!) and can be a good way to introduce people to the hobby!

So, I willl update this thread with the weather forecast each time updates are available for the week end.

All,

Checked the forecast, and dramatic changes !
The week end is going to be wet !  :!:  :!:
Winds sector South, and rain is forecasted for the 2 days!

Up to you who are coming from far away, I will be at the slope saturday morning early still and can give an update (text...) about the weather on site, but this is not looking good rainwise for the 2 days !

Spread the word !  :!:  :!:

Fred, I can see Mt. Lienster from where I live.  It's about 25Km (line of sight) away. I'm thinking that rather than you travel down from Dublin just to sit on a wet slope, I could post updates on conditions on the forum.
Do you think that might be better for you? :?:

I'm inclined to agree with you Ralph, I don't think we'll be doing much flying this weekend :cry:

I don't mind cold, but I don't "do" rain.

I vote for next weekend.

Too bad about the weather - I vote for a re-schedule for the next weekend in the hope we can get more flying in then.
