Hi Ralph,
Cork is a big county.......
Mitchelstown is just over 200k but Goleen is nearer 400! A bit far for a day trip but  I might overnight. Need to know where however.

Update..... forecast for next Sat is westerlies in the region of 25 kph. This suggests Kinsale and heavyweight models. Flat landing fields behind the slope.

Looking good

Many thanks to Ralph for organizing the Glide In this week end.
Despite a not so good weather, we had good fun, great laughs, and the usual banter!
I'll post some photos soon :)

A big thankyou to Ralph for a great weekend. I did get a good few flights on Sunday morning in 38km/hr wind speed of the point with the Fouga and the micro Lunak, which is now my top fun model to fly.

And because why not, we decided to start to build Wayne's new glider :)
We failed as we had a lack of small servos :( So close!
