Finally got out flying today (Also see the DS section). My first time on Mt Leinster in 2010. Feels like forever since I've been there. Keith was aiming to meet me but had to work unfortunately. Keith work you say! Yes I'm confused too! :wink:
Was like the old days. Decent northerly wind and a big slope all to myself. Not even any hill walkers. Actually wore some decent warm clothes for a change too. So a comfy 2 and a half hours on my favourite Mt Leinster slope were had.
After an hour with the Luna I set up my ASH which was ready to fly again after it's last crash at the september meeting. This model has given me a hard time so far. Two crashes and lots of time and energy has gone into it. Some machines are just like that I guess. 40 minutes on it today. I think we are friends again. Hopefully this is the shape of things to come :?
An old friend back in the air today too. My Skua has been grounded for a good while now. A new battery and a new servo and it's ready to rock again. Not as solid as it used to be. I think the spar is broken in there. Will strip fix and recover it over the summer. Spent ages buzzing round and almost hitting myself and generally acting the mick with her. I must say, I love this wing. It's the best bang for buck glider I have. Closely followed by the Luna. It's the cheapest glider I flew today by far and I have to say the one I probably had the most fun with. Food for thought :?:
Back to fixing and charging for the weekend now
Not much of a photo but all posts are better with photos!!
