Now now girls, play nicely. (Fred :shock: , put that tube of KY jelly away! :roll: )
Well some models finally took to the air around 3pm today after many hours of rain/ drizzle. The wind was Brisk/Strong blowing straight onto the North slope of the Big L.
Selleri put in a very good display of how to fly a Skua and later a DG1000 in conditions that were definitely not for novices. (He knows his stuff this guy :wink: ,……..Certainly won’t be inviting him to any more glide-in’s, that’s for sure!)
Fred showed his ASW 15 to the wind and it took off straight out of his hands. (At least I think it was an ASW 15. No doubt he‘ll tell me it was something else.) It roar about the sky at a vast rate of knots’ to the delight of a couple of brave on-lookers who had ventured up at Nine Stones in the rather inclement weather.
Later on Ralph joined us. He had come straight from work though he got caught up in slow moving traffic for some 20 Km’s. (Very frustrating). As the afternoon was becoming evening we all decided to call it ‘a day’ and pack up. Hopefully after a good nights sleep, if the rain stays away tomorrow, there’ll be some good flying from our group of European flyers. (French, Icelandic, English, and of course Irish) May be our friends from Deutschland will arrive and join in the fun!
The more, the merrier!!
