OK, lets get off T-shirts and back to PSS!!

Pics of the Frogfoot in it'scurrent state. Glassing tonight and primer tomorrow, so WILL fly at the weekend. Canopy needs trimmed and the engine pods need attached, but we're still on schedule.

Well for all you Top Gun fans, Peter(Maverick) Carson will have a big F14 for the PSS event, with him. This is an electric model, However brave Peter will try it of the slope, and before you ask! yes it has a swing wing system.

Hi Bill that frogfoot looks good and strong!!

HI Ralph.
Looks like Saturday will be around 15-20 Km/h. Sunday looks better more like 25km/h.
Sat looks Northwest which is in between the west and north slope but we can probably make it work. Sunday looks like a westerly which should be good.

Ralph on the West or North slopes,………..if the wind speed is greater than 20Km/h I’d be confident you’ll be able to fly your models, unless their wing loading is more than about 20oz/sq ft. Then they'd struggle a bit.

I’m seeing predicted wind speeds of 29Km/h for Sunday. On the west slopes that = good lift conditions. :wink:
The only slight potential prob is the question of cloud cover, :?: although most sites are predicting only small amounts of low cloud.

Time to start deep cycling those Ni-mh batteries lads. Make sure they’ll hold enough current for a hard days flying!

Forecast for weekend still looking good? Trying to decide what to charge and bring! :?:

joe · « **Reply #42 on:** March 12, 2010, 14:06:10 PM »

Still looking dry. I was up there yesterday in what was supposed to be 20km/h Was more up there as you'd expect. Lots of lift. The wind is looking more north-west for tomorrow. So a little off the for the north slope but will probably be fine.
Sunday is looking more westerly. Should be fine for the west slope around 20km/h. Wind supposed to die off in the evening of both days.
Hope that helps??!
