Title: R/C Glider Irish National Championships
Post by: Fred on May 30, 2006, 09:16:47 AM

Ok, that's official now, so I can tell you.

For the first time, a Glider National will take place in Ireland, 15th and 16th of July in County Clare.


And... No more infos !

So, don't really know what's going on, if that's scale, non scale, f3b, f3j, f3f, fun fly etc etc. Any rules ?

So, you can contact Ralph McCarthy  (087-8322791)  / rmccartyhy@cit.ie  for more details on the event. Or Ralph can use the forum to give us some infos ? Ralph ?

Anyway, that's the week End after Retroplane (that's official now.. the biggest RC vintage glider meeting in Europe...), and a National need preparation.. So, I don't really know if I'm going to participate. Not I don't want to (A Gider national !! In Ireland !! ) but I really need to know where I'm going !

Anyway... Wait and see.

Fred

i mailed Ralph and he got back to me today.here's what he said.

"we had about 15 competitors in total but alas only the light weight models would fly. A great day had by all and some super models present.
 
Hopefully a full report will be in the next issue of Flight lines"

I scan the report and post it when i get the next flight lines!
