I hope to make it the Midland MFC Aerotow. Unfortunatly the K8 will not be ready

. Still a lot of work to be done.

By the way, if we could have more info by Andreas or else, that would be great ! :wink:

My only concern is the number of tow plane at the event :?:

Does anyone know if this aerotow event is taking place on Sunday the 27th as well, it says so in Flightlines. I probably will not be able to make it on the 26th, but I might be able to on the 27th. I may not have any models to fly though.

No, no clues... No communication... :?:

Will be good if you go, take loads of photos !

And that would be be good too to know more about the event !
How many tow plane, size of the biggest glider that can be towed and so on...

No more news, I'll stay at home slope soaring instead :roll:

I might try and give Andreas Balsinger a call tomorrow morning some time to see if I can get more information.

Hiya Lads
Just got a email from Andreas asking if I was head to the aero-tow on Saturday. So it's on. I am unfortunately on holidays from tomorrow. I will see if I can get some more info from him.

Got some info from Andreas

They are going for Saturday as the weather is to be bad for Sunday ,They would like to start at around 10am. 3 tow planes 2x 1/3 scale Piper Cub's with 60 cc petrol engines and a MPX Big Lift with a 26cc petrol engine. They are only expecting a few pilots so if anyway fancies going alone I'm sure they would be glad of the support. They mainly fly scale gliders from 2-5 m
span but, long as it has a release mechanism any sort of glider will do!

Give Andreas a call if you are going along. Just so he has an idea.

Ah Nuts. I won't be able to make it on Saturday. Ah well next year I guess.

joe · « **Reply #9 on:** July 25, 2008, 08:59:14 AM »

They are hoping to do another one later in the year as well. Maybe Sept/Oct.
Hope to be able to make it to that one.

Might have the K8 built by then hopefully.

Did anyone go to this? Any reports?

Fred · « **Reply #12 on:** August 06, 2008, 16:15:36 PM »

Hi Chris,

Yeah, was going to ask the same question !

:wink:

Any photos, reports, even the boring stuff, we'll take it !

joe · « **Reply #13 on:** August 06, 2008, 16:34:59 PM »

Sent an email to Andreas yesterday asking the same thing. No rely as yet!

Fred · « **Reply #14 on:** August 07, 2008, 11:34:49 AM »

Cool, that would be great to have some info / news..

Checked the website, latest news are from 2006... :roll:

I think that will confirm what I'm doing now : going only to events that are actually advertised, with a minimum of communication... If they don't bother communicate, why bother driving to the event ? (in a general point of view, not necesarely about this one by the way :wink: )

Long debate anyway, but hopefully, we will have some photos/news about that one
