Sloping fun, show your pictures and videos !!!!!

[Richard Boyd]

Today May Bank Holiday Monday, Bill and John P visited me on the local slope at Moneymore.
Winds were really blowing and a great days flying was had by all.

Video practise from John Pearson, of my little Fox in high winds.

and yes it is a "dead" madslide! Hit so hard you probably felt it in Co. Wexford!!

Hi Bill thanks for the great company today.
One thing I have to mention ,
NEVER SHOW PICTURES OF BROKEN/CRASHED PLANES !!!!!!!
 :!:

[billscottni]

I don't on "open" forums. Didn't think it mattered too much here and my picasa album isn't public

[Richard Boyd]

I was only joking Bill, the crashed plane is what everyone love to see except the owner   l

I'm just glad I dropped it on the deck and didn't wipe us all out!

Where's the rest of the video footage? Would love to see the little "love" tap I gave Johns Phase 6! :twisted:

Glad you guys made good use of your bank holiday.  Can’t beat a good spot of flying real planes.


Richard, it seems from that little video that you were having difficulty distinguishing which is right way up, and which is inverted. Remind me to give you some lessons when we next meet!! :lol:

And a dead madslide? Where?, I couldn’t see it. I WANT TO SEE A BROKEN MUDSLIDE! Not that I enjoy such things of course. Just that I have a morbid curiosity. (It pleases me to know that I’m not the only one who “bends” ‘em :!: ) :lol:

hi guys
think i missed out on a good days flying  

[Richard Boyd]

Hi Bill , I hope to get some more footage looked at today !

Hello Mr. Andrew , great to see on here.
What a thrilling days flying you missed.
Winds are to continue to blow so maybe a mid week sneak to the mountain is on the cards !
Retirement is great lol

Just for you Keith!!



Buried itself up to the wingseat

[Happy Days]

Oh dear,…………..commiserations Bill. :cry:
One of my Phase 6's went nose in from about 500 feet when the solder on the elevator bell crank gave out in mid flight.

Your wings don’t look too bad. Will you build another fuse’ :?: ?

K.

[billscottni]

wings split across the middle. Might be able to put a spar in it. Not sure whether to build a new fuz or build the bigger version.

For the few minutes it flew it was quite nice! It was my usual built like a brick shi****e and way too heavy, so a lighter version would probably fly better :?:

[JohnPearson]

Hi Bill

Get days craic, on the slopes the other day, sorry about the plane sh*** happens, however, you can now build another, and yes, a bigger one!!!
Here are a few pics taken with my camera, and also welcome Andrew to the forum good to see you joining in with the rest of us mad glider pilots.

[Fred]

Alright, I'm back !
So, any flying lately ? Hope you took advantages of the really good weather we have here for the past weeks !  

As for me, lots of slope soaring in Britany, and on the beach with my new toy
