Hi Lads,
apologies for the late notice, I cannot find digs for the weekend and wont drive up and down in the one day.
I think it will have to be July in Cork before we meet again.
Apologies again to all.

Mount Leinster June bank holiday weekend
I was on to Fred re towing in Roundwood and it looks like we have to give it a miss this time. Anyone interested in joining Fred and me for some flying at Mount Leinster that weekend instead?
Hope to see some of you there

Apologies for my delay in replying, first I would like to thank Dave Duff from the CMAC and his wife for the work done to prepare the site for the weekend making all the facilities clean for the weekend.
Secondly I would like to thank CMAC for once again hosting us for the weekend.
I would like to thank Fred for all the towing all weekend and also for all the pilots who participated over the weekend. Without them the event would not happen, Fred, Richard, Brendan, Joe and John
Finally my towplane got to see some action on the Monday and as Joe said Brendan and Joe had a good bunch of flights.
Once again looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Hi all,
just a quick reminder to say you will all be welcome to the CMAC funfly/aerotow again this year.
The Cork club has once again kindly host us for the weekend.
So far we have 3 towplanes and plenty of gliders for the weekend.
Please if you think you might travel post up so I can have a burger and a beer ready and waiting for you.
See you all the May bank holiday weekend.

I have been on to the lads in the PSSA and they have said they will supply me with the files to print the 3D parts for the Texan. I should have a batch done for May if anyone wants some?

A blustery and wet start to our Saturday but as always Richard from Cork flew.
Sunday was to be the main event with several maiden flights and no less than 5 visitors from France (4 pilots) and a contingent from all over the country.
Dave was the first up to maiden his flying wing, great fun and lots of flying with a little repair.
Next up was myself with my Robbe Vampire with a great launch from Erwan Plu was a pleasant surprise for me as it flew with hardly any trimming.
Joe finally flew his mass build Sabre which shows plenty of promise once a few minor alterations are carried out.
Cassoulet, Steak blu and french beer were on the menu for the weekend.
As always good to catch up with everyone and looking forward to the Aerotow in MAy
