Slope Soaring / Back at it - north Dublin

« on: October 04, 2020, 09:18:03 AM »

Hi,

After years of fretting and contemplating I finally got back into the game (thanks COVID Fridays). Joined fingal model flying club just north of where I live (Donabate), and they have a lovely but tiny slope that works perfect for small smaller aircraft but depends on easterlies which are rare enough.

So I finally built the BLH Tito that I bought in 2013 back when I lived in Toulouse waiting for the winds to turn - should work really well there.

Anyone else flying north of Dublin?
Where do you fly? It's a bit flat out here ‍️.

Would love to join a meet up wherever is doable from here.

Thanks!
Karel

Slope Soaring / new kid on the block

hi,

we've recently moved to Ireland (Dublin) from France and are all unpacked now. ready to prepare a few gliders now that the weather starts picking up.

thought I'd introduce myself and see where i could meet some fellow amateurs.

I saw that the sites discussions are quite old.
where is a man still allowed to fly these days?
can we still get by with 35MHz gear or is 2.4GHz obligatory?
Looking forward to getting out there again.

best
