Scale / Lancair...alas no more :(
« on: June 18, 2012, 14:06:20 PM »
I am not flyin too much these days and the fuppin gremlins are all over my workshop.

Got out to shannon yesterday for a rare flight and i took out my Lancair and my twin engine Harmony.

Noticed the lancair had a broken spat...took it off.
Lancair first flight something was buzzing... landed...??? nothing loose???
Next flight spinner shatters in flight and falls into the trees....oh well landed and no real harm done.
Switched to Harmony... battery dead.... bummer!!! battery in bin plane in van.
Back to Lancair for 3rd flight of the day... all going well then i get a tiny glimpse of yellow in the corner of my eye....SMASH!!!! mid air collision with shanes(club member) beautiful Flair kit Texan... AAARRGGHHH!!! 2 irreplaceable scale models wiped out in an instant. Bummer central.
I tell ya .... you take your eye off your models and your workshop for any length of time the them fuppin gremlins will be all over you.. lol ;)

Slope Soaring / Happy New year guys
« on: January 13, 2012, 20:51:26 PM »
Hey all,

Happy new year, Hope you are all well and still slightly mad in the head.... lol.

Anyway I sort of lost touch with RC in 2011, Work related shite mostly... but hopefully 2012 will be better.

I currently have nothing to fly on the slope so i rumaged around in Gerry B's vaste and wonderfull workshop and came out a couple of weeks later bewildered but just about alive with this !!!!  :D

LAST DOWN XXXL


available from Staufenbiel. at www.modellhobby.de

Not for the purest admitedly but as it will be the only glider i have this year it will serve my needs well me thinks. So far i have only the servo tray built and installed... but it should not be too long getting this together.

Cheers all

« on: May 17, 2010, 11:42:48 AM »
Hey all,

Just a quick post to see how y'all are. Sorry I kinda went awol from forum for a while. Gliding away all the time on tounntine tho. The weather has been fantastic... forgotten what the rain is like now. We are out sloping every wednesday night, open invitiation to any of you that may find yourselves in the mid wesht region of a wed night. Just call me or Jer Buckley to hook up....There will be bunzzz. :))
By the way I heared the cork boys were mad for bunz at the CMAC glide in but unfortunatlely i could not make it down. Sorry Ralph ;) maybe if i get over to Mt L this weekend I can get you a fix.
Fred had gnawed all his finger off due to bun deprivation... a terrible affliction to be sure :)

Cheers lads!

Indoor / Breeze Pro Arrived
« on: November 03, 2009, 22:21:37 PM »
Got my new Breeze Pro Today. Started tonight. Should be ready to fly soon. Will post the pics of it as I go. So Far the only problem was figuring out how to get the CA to cure quickly....no Foam safe accelerator in my bag of tricks.. so I decided to wet one side of the foam and put CA on the other. Worked a treat... :D

Slope Soaring / The tounntine gazette
« on: July 23, 2009, 22:43:44 PM »
Hi lads,

A good night had by all on tounntine last night. One of our regular Shannon club flying sessions on the hill. I kept the ISR side represented, it's a tough job but somebody has to do it :)  Four of us flying. Huge lift. 20+mph winds from the south west. We were out on SW point. (My Favourite). :D

Here's the pics....

We got setup, note the windsock!! You could fly a brick in that lift....if you had a brick.
Models were Declans new FlyFly Salto, My Fox, Ger's ASK18, Phil's Teakle HP18. A good selection considering the howling gale.


Get the new Salto ready


So on with the flying.... Ger launching Declans brand new Salto. This thing flew amazingly well. Really Fast. Flew on rails and the smile on Decs face all night said it all.


Get the HP18 out there!!!


Oops the camera man is not as quick as the model.. :(


Got it this time... :wink:


So I launched Ger's ASK18 and that got the 3 lads flying. Looks like ger flew into the sun there. Not a good idea. Hang on!!! I am the only one not getting a flight here... Too busy taking photos... So that means I have to launch and fly the fox myself while taking photos of it.....ahmmmm :?:


Magic!!! It is launched and on a fly by... How did that happen??? :?


This starts a flyby for the camera competition... :roll:


Now that is just showing off... :clap:


What a great night... :D  :D  :D  :D  :D

Combat / Sniper on your tail
« on: June 16, 2009, 21:22:38 PM »
This is the Sniper from JK Aerotech. I have had it for about 8 years, and never put the radio gear in. After last saturdays combat I am gonna fix it up and blast that feckin Mustang out of the sky... :twisted:
And for back up. We took drawings off it this evening and Ger Buckley will be cutting out 2 more for himself and his son Declan. Then we will gang up on you lads in the East. World War III will commence.
Better get some serious practice in.... :?:



Be afraid....be very afraid.
