Hello everyone,
Great summer but it's September and traditionally we have rain / no wind / too much wind or clouds all the way down to the ground by next weekend.
Anyway I hope to be at Mt Leinster - probably Saturday. Is there a plan? Will there be a crowd?

Hey Jim,

Will be there

Just had a look at the wind forecast, and looks like we will have westerlies for the weekend

Bring on the lazy slope!

Thanks Bill, Fred, I will see you there.

Bill,
I see you have been championing a mass PSS build. I haven't built anything for a long time - years if the truth be told but maybe...... I'm not sure how this works but I can use CAD so if you need a plan drawn up let me know.

Fred,
How about a mass build wooden F3fun style glider? I never got around to building that one I drew up a few years ago.

Ooohhh, I like your motivation Jim!

F3Fun, I think I have the plan somewhere? I do remember your drawing, just need to refresh my memory.

Now, if people are motivated, PSS and a fun model, I'm in

Well, after a good night sleep, a big massive thank you to all of you who travelled from all over the country to the event this weekend!
We were blessed with a very nice weather, straight on the "lazy" slope, and we can say the official "last" meeting of the season was a big success!
18 pilots on the Saturday, and I counted 8 on Sunday (but different ones than the Saturday... That shows that doing the meetings on 2 days is always a good move!

)

Lots and lots of flying done, on top of the usual banter, massive amounts of cakes (thanks for the cream cake!! ), coffee, teas and chats!

Highlights for me, was to see Joe magnificient 1/4 scale Grunau Baby IIb in the air. That thing looks, and sound good! Need a pilot Joe!! Also, 2 Cortinas on nthe same slope... Must have been something unseen from the 80s! Add a Vampire to the lot, and we call this meeting vintage!
First flight of my A10, also a non event, and of course, my Sonic crash who almost ended up by me doing a lot of paper work! (checked the logs, nothing special other than me pushing hard on the elevator, and putting flaps up 5 seconds before impact!) Really lucky on that one on all front!

Anyway, below are a few photos, I think in lowish resolution, I'll do a proper album.. Have a bout 300 photos to sort!!

Thanks all again for coming!!
