went for a run in the car and took the model with me i had a few idea's of where the wind might suit
but when i got to 1st Dunboe church the wind is straight east and there's nothing facing that direction even the gliding club don't fly in an easterly wind  :(

Fred this is some glider  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:
thanks :D
can't wait to fly it again, the roll rate was brilliant and lost none of the forward speed, and i think i'll be able to take some of the lead out of the nose
terry's making me some decals for it  :clap:

Hi Andrew, if you have an easterly try along the east strand at the Port !!!!!!
I have flown the blaster along the beach wall and it is mega fun in the sun  8)
There is also Ranmore head, but it is a cliff so no rescue if something goes wrong.
I intend to plot  slope sites this summer along the North Antrim Coast.
It should make a great few days of fun flying.
If you and Terry are up to join me this will add to the fun. JP will be there of course  :lol:

Alright, I'm back! Sorry for the long silence, mad week!

Congrats again Andrew  :clap:  So, where are the photos and videos!  :P

Mountains started to get covered in snow here... I'll be off a few days next week, might get some flying time before the roads close if the snow continue to fall!

Yip Fred it is do or die time lol
I have some really sweet manouvers that I would like to try with  the Quark Glider,
I am having really bad luck in getting carbon and this has held my build up. first the carbon was lost now I reordered and the payment has dissappeared into cyber space.
Dealing with banks is a tricky business, no one can give me answers and today I get an 8 page form to fill out.
I have 30m of solar film , 100 servos and 50 carbon tubes in this order, alot of money to lose  :x
Anyway that is life !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too cold you go into the shed.
Plus I have been extremely busy this last few weeks.
