Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!

Hi guys
Merry Christmass and Happy New Year from Germany, too. Might be that I will meet some of you next year during the retroplane meeting.
Cheers
Stephan

I don't know about you guys, but we've all eaten a little too much, drank too much and are all just lounging around trying to recover from the excess of it all. OOOoooo my stomach :(

We've tried watching TV but there's nothing on, of any interest. (Some things never change.)

One of our guests thought we should have a theological discussion on a topic such as,.........Is there life after marrage?

Someone else suggested we could all join hands and try and get in touch with the living. But most of our relitives are so drunk they couldn't raise an eyebrow at the moment, let alone their hands!

I had hoped to do a spot of flying for an hour or so, but there's no wind!!! :!:

So, in the absence of anything else to do, there's only one thing for it :?: ..........I'll have another drink   :wink:

"Merry Christmas to you all" :clap:

p.s. If there's lift tomorrow I'll give you a call Joe.
Try not to run out of airspeed, altitude and ideas....... all at the same time.

Hey Keith...

Here the weather don't help for slopes, it's sunny  but no wind at all.
Nothing and charged packs waiting to be used...
So i went electric powered, joined my reliable SlowStick and the cam and I've been making videos.

http://www.vimeo.com/2622718 the most boring 5min ever! :)

I still want to make the same using my formosa or the TigerMoth and give the video a bit more of excitement.

Hey Nando, yeah, good stuff  :clap:  very clear images considering the gear you're using.

If you want a laugh may be Fred will upload some footage I sent him a couple of months ago of some novice  trying to fly a 4Mtr Ash off the west slope of Big L last summer. The guy obviously didn't have a clue what he was doing. lol :lol:

Keith.
