Cabin fever anyone ?

[Fred]

That's it, I can't take it anymore !!!  :!:  :!:  :!:  :!:
Roads to Kilakee are still dodgey, but this week end, if the wind is in the right direction, I just go fo it !
I need my fix !!

[billscottni]

Our winds are forecast to be light northerly so no chance for me. My fix wil have to be a electric in the park!

Wish you better luck!

[Happy Days]

Yes, I know the feeling Fred. I haven’t flown a glider for 2 months! ….2 MONTHS!! :cry:

Big L is still snow covered, I don’t think my little car would get up the wiggly road.
(Thank god for indoor flying……..Not quite the same but at least I can keep my “fingers in”.) (If you’ll pardon the expression! :oops: )

[Fred]

Fingers in eh ?  :roll:  :shock:   :lol:
Well, we'll see, Sunday looks like SW winds, will try to get to Kilakee with the ASW15.
The worse part is that it is also too cold to work in the garage !  :!:

Or I need to do this indoor plane I have ! But no indoor venues around here  :cry:

[Alan_Perse]

I know the feeling. Its been about two mouths since I "tried" to fly the K8. She's all repaired, but all this waiting to fly it again is killing me.

Your welcome to join us flying indoor at Kiltealy Fred. (And anyone else.)  On Sundays we normally fly from around 08.30 till about 11.00.

Sometimes, if the hall isn’t being used for sports, we just keep flying till we get hungry, and then go home. (I’ve been there till 13.00 before now )

The down side is that it’s a long way from Dublin to Kiltealy.  But on the plus side at least you know you will get some flying in.

If the snow has melted off the access road to Big L. you might also get some gliding  in the afternoon…….bonus!  

[Fred]

Thanks for the offer Keith  
But yep, a bit far for me... But why not  a day when we can go slope soaring (flying real man stuff   ) after an indoor session !  
Ok, I must start the Tensor 4D I have so ! Just in case !

[Happy Days]

Tensor 4D er?,….. So you’re a biplane man like myself…….Good on ya’ Fred! :clap:

Good idea. 3 - 4D indoor flying (or on my case, Crashing) in the morning followed by,……as you put it,.  “Real” flying in the afternoon.

Sounds great,…….all we need now is the weather and a 50K wind (Some things never change!) :lol:

[JohnPearson]

Right boys

I have had it, NO flying for weeks, my wife has a big smile on her face for weeks, due to the amount of shopping that she has done, with my poor body in tow. AHHHHHHH!!!

Stuff it, lets all go to florida for the sun, warm afternoons ,calm winds and lots of cool beers between fligths, mmmmm, one can dream!!

[Peter]

Yes - no flying for ages.  I did manage to get to Killakee on St Stephen's Day.  Boy was it cold - lasted about 15 minutes in very bumpy air and then beat a hasty retreat.  Not much fun. Nothing since then.  Started a building project instead - a 1/5 scale ASW 20 in wood - after much fret sawing, proud owner now of half a planked fuselage!  About to flip it over and build on other half. Slow work as usual.

[Happy Days]

Errr,............pictures Peter, where are the pictures? :?:

We mortals like to see how the experts do it!

[Fred]

Hi Peter, long time no see !!
Asw20, certainly my favorite modern glider along with the DG1000 !!
Will watch that with interrest (photos??   )
I can't remember, you flew the Pilatus ?  :?:

Keith, yep, why having only 1 set of wings when you can have 2 !    The tensor have a strange look anyway, but we'll se after a few crashes, I'm tempted to re-use all the electronic into a free flight conversion instead (something like a piper cub maybe...  :?: )

John, we will not blend very well in Florida, we are not 365 years old ! For Keith, sound like home !    

Fingers crossed for Kilakee tomorrow, but sound like the wind is a bit too Southerly  :!:

[Happy Days]

Bloody Cheek! :evil:

K.

[Fred]

I love you too Keith  :mrgreen:

[Fred]

:?:  Just saw on the news that the roads going to Mt L are destroyed !
Keith, have you tried to go p there in the wek end ?  :?:
