Hi Ralph,
When you say move the May dates to June, do you mean the April dates?

Or to put it another way, is the 29th and 30th April still on the plan?

Jim

Well, thank you all who came today for a very good session at 9 Stones. It was surprisingly warm and windy!

A few more photos soon, but for now, one of my biggest model yet who made its maiden flight(s) today without issues

Oh, and hello and welcome Philip! (hope I got the spelling right!! )

Yes good day at the nine stones. Nice to see you all again. It was quite warm when the sun was out. Here are some of my photos.

Looking forward to the June bank holiday already and hopefully a date in Tountinna soon after.

Cheers

Hi Gentlemen, Did I miss the memo?
It was quiet at Mt Leinster today. Just me and a new comer. I had a good flight from the SW slope - my first flight since Mt Leinster last spring.

Looks like you had a good day yesterday.

I have been asked to recommend a RC transmitter for a returning aeromodeller getting into slope soaring. I have used Multiplex for over 30 years but I know they have changed. (the 3010 / 3030 was the very best radio system I ever used).
So what do you recommend with capabilities for full house gliders - I assume it would be foolish not to have telemetery capabilities.

Thanks,
JIM

Jim, all depends on budget and what type of models he's going to fly.

Budget end I'd go Frsky. RX's are cheap
Spektrum has much better quality than it used to but RX's are a bit dearer

If he has money and plans on flying bigger, more expensive stuff, Jeti is the way to go

Hi Jim,

sorry bout that, I could not find a bed for the night in Bunclody so only made it up for the Sat.

Looks like ye had a nice day for it, I ended up back in Wexford for a removal afterwards.

It is a toss up these days for radios, I would say FrSky for budget and Jeti for the long term investment. Starting bout 550 euro for a tx. Expensive but around a long time (30 years plus)

Again sorry for the miscommunication.

See you next month (I have a bed sorted)

Ralph

Specktrum not a good radio for full house gliders IMO
