ISR Dates 2023

[Flamingo Flier]

Thanks, Bill, thanks, Ralph, for your very prompt replies. Sounds like Jeti then.
There was a good breeze yesterday - probably a little too much for the old 100" I had brought expecting the conditions to be lighter. I could have gone back down to get the Flamingo but I could see a shower coming so I went ahead anyway. It coped fine!
The first shower came about 1:00!
Had you many fliers on Saturday? Had the French contingent gone home?
Thanks again,
Jim

Hi Jim,

it was lovely and warm with SW breeze and plenty of lift. We flew our Lentus models from MPX while Alan flew his MPX Solius.

Fred entertained us with a 1/10th scale Phoebus. Dinky little thing with rudder and elevator.

There was also a lad from Portugal working in Tuam came an joined us. He is looking to join the club and get involved.

The lads from France had returned home a week ago, however there will be another contingent arriving for our June bank holiday meeting.

Look forward to seeing you there.

All the best,

Ralph

Hi Jim,

Many of my clubmates are using Radiomaster T16S for everything - drones, power, gliders. Most are on EdgeTx (vs OpenTx). Steep learning curve, but quite an impressive radio. Not that I fly gliders (anything) very often, but I've been moving all of my gliders onto it. It has the potential to become my single transmitter, for all modes of model aviation. Probably not a good bet as a first radio as my first interactions with it were admittedly very frustrating, but very powerful once one acquires some familiarity with it.

Hello everyone,
Are there plans for Mt Leinster over the Bank Holiday weekend?
I cannot make it but a friend, an aeromodeller from 50 years ago, is interested to see you fly. I told him you guys are good and I think he fell for it!

Have a good weekend, and also at Tountinna

Hi Jim,

we will be there 2nd 3rd and 4th. Feel free to pass on my contact details if you think your friend might need it.

Cork Aerotow 1st and 2nd of July if that interests you Jim?

All the best,

Ralph

[Flamingo Flier]

Thanks Ralph,
I will pass the news. I have no plans yet for early July - so you never know!

Looks like warm weather and good wind on the 9 stones, so I think flying and ice cream all weekend long.

See you there

Hope to be there Saturday. Missed the last two Mount Leinster outings due to work.

Hello all.

Thanks for the great time this past Saturday. Some pictures that I took from the weekend.
I am putting the RAW version of the picture file and not on a standard format, so hopefully it will be visible.


Thanks

[Filipe Lopes]

Sorry.

The previous files take too much space.
Hopefully these will be easier to visualize.

Thanks
