12th & 13th April 2014 Glide-In at Big L.
« on: April 05, 2014, 13:55:14 PM »
Only a week to go lads until the next Glide-In. Who’s going to be there to enjoy the ambience?

The weather reports so far look promising with only the chance of showers forecast. :)  The wind seems set to be from the west’ish direction although only around 10 - 15 Kmh. Looks like there won’t be any combat flying :evil: , more of a  gentle ‘floating’ type weekend. :D  I suspect that polyhedral / or large wingspan models will fly best if the forecasts are correct.

I may well toddle up to the Big L for an hour or two, just to annoy everyone. But will there be anyone there for me to annoy???  :!:

YES, I will be there with hopefully a new model to maiden :D, have been looking forward to returning since the last time I was down at mount Leinster.

Was flying at Lackan today and my little wing did not get on well at all in the 45kph winds.

Okay Andy, see you in September then. :wink:

Gosh Justin, I’m surprised it flew at all. :shock:  It struggled enough in the 25 -35 Kmh winds when you flew it with Big Keith, Patrick & myself!

Hi Keith,

Yep, I'll be down. Hopefully will get more than 15seconds in the air this time  :D

Looking forward to it.

Hopefully so Stephen.

This time bring more than one fully working model with you. It’s the best way to insure the probability of getting some flying in. :wink:

How’s your powered flying going with the “Royal County Flyers”?

Howdy,

I'll be there both days :)

By the way, on top of my head, if some of you need, we have 3 pre-booked rooms at the Mose House  :D
Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!

Grand stuff lads, look forward to seeing you all again. We seem to have a excess of Kevin’s and Keith’s don’t we. :roll:
Forecasts are still saying light breezes and clear skies for Saturday. We might even pick up a passing thermal or two. On the other hand, this is Ireland………

i'm still crocked up with my knees, even climbing stairs is giving me trouble, so climbing hills is out at the moment.

hope everyone who goes has a great time.

Ar yes, our walking wounded, Bill and Gerry. (Or not so walking wounded as the case may be)

Well guys, what more can I say. Hurry up and get well, although surgery always takes longer to recover from the older one gets. Ask me how I know :roll: .

So take it easy and we’ll see you on the slopes again,… eventually. :D

OoOOOooo that’d be good Bill. :D

 Actually that’s not a bad idea because there are chairs and padded bench seats (to lie on) in the club house. Just thinking that you might need to give your back a rest at some point, possibly. Hopefully we’ll see you there :D …………..if it goes ahead.

Hey Fred, can you remember to bring those models with you at the weekend, that we spoke of before the last meeting please. The foamy will be of particular use at the moment.

Love & kisses :oops:
