Hey there,

Well, it's not really a tow plane yet, a trainer, if flight is successfull, I will increase the power and put the tow hook.

Will be good for gliders up to 2~2.5kg

Handy to have, as that will free up the big tow plane for the bigger stuff

Brian, I will leave as early as I can... Maybe at around 9am :?:
Everuthing is charging and ready !
I can text you (send me your number... Same Keith if you want) when I leave Dublin.

Fred

Well that was fun, wasn't it?

100Kph winds at the ridge
Two damaged models
And a failed attempt at dynamic soaring. :cry: Hmmmmmm

When shall we do it again?

Well, what a day !

First, to the flying field for the first flight of the Shark... A bit like back to basic by flying a plane :mrgreen:
That thing don't even have airbrakes !

:lol:

Anyway, smallish wind at the start, blue sky and sun...

Then we decided to fly real flying machines, and headed to Mt Leinster

Base camp was established on the SW slope...

And the machines...

Average wind was 80 Km/h with 100Km/h gust ! Lethal !

Good day !

Oh, and forgot the rain at the end !
