Tuesday night gliding club

Now that Llysfaen has ended, a few have suggested we do a meet at the Orme on Tuesday evenings for a few hours glidery action. Tomorrow forecast is light winds but the right direction WSW, and no rain so would be nice for the lighter, or electron assisted stuff.
Stick a post up here if anyone fancies it...... Ill almost certainly be going as yesterdays PSS meeting reminded me just how much fun we always have up there.

I will be there!

6PM onward

LOL

What you going to fly or is it just watch again

Who are you talking too Rich - it cant be me, 'cos I flew 6 assorted models yesterday mate!

Im sure it was me Tim, Rich seems to think its funny mocking me, well I will laugh loudest when I kick his ass at IMAC this year with a small toy plane and no practise.

M

Who may well be just watching lol

LOL....come on barnesyboy, surely you have something you can have a fly around with.If not, I have several foamy wings and the like that you are welcome to bind to your tx for the night mate - just let me know.

Im sure I can rustle up something. Thanks Tim

Ok

Enjoy yourselves I'm in Poole for the week

Mocking, sunny as well but no wind.

I'm planning to get there early afternoon.

Sorry guys I'm going to the field instead, this weather is to good to pass up with UKXFC fast approaching and me still being rubbish

Hope you had fun

M

practice won't do you any good

You didn't miss much, the wind was E'ly and very light, me and Tim waited a while to see if it would swing round to the N or W but eventually we had a look at the Ski slope side joined by Brent but it was all very light so it was a wash out.

well at least I show willing. but god knows your right.

Only got one flight in anyway had a Ali linkage let go so that ended play for the night, flew Dads quad though very enjoyable that was may sell everything and get one of them to tootle around with.

I went to the orme 6ish and yep wind had changed to easterly so would have been the ski slope site but nobody there so went home and enjoyed some shockie flying at my local site next to bodnant garden.

Good forecast for the main west slope tomorrow, Marty and I and another newbie will be there from around 2pm.

Is Marty still classed as a newbie, rumour has it he smashed my DLG time of 23mins from one launch at the field on Sunday

I got told tales of 30min plus so I would say hammered it!

I like antique clocks.

I only have the A Cert so I guess I'm still a newbee.
I didn't realise there were records for the DLG in the Club until Jem shouted that the way the flight I on was going I could break the record of 10 mins. At that stage I had been up about 7 or 8 mins but I started the timer anyway and the timer said 22:14 mins when I landed so my total time was in the ballpark of 29 minutes.
The Akcent 2 is going like a dream now, I love this model!
Also had a play with my Garnet but at the moment I can't get any times out of it.
Tim & Jem both had a play with the Akcent and seemed to enjo it.

I was referring to my son in law as the other newbie....following on from my son who joined us up the slope last week.
