I'd hope to get down to at least one of the Mt Leinsters, (COVID dependent!).

Open Electric Thermal Soaring: 2 May 2021
We’re back flying!!
Great to be back flying competitive events after the NI Assembly reduced the restrictions on sport. We’d flown for a couple of Sundays for sport (and to get rid of rustiness!). This was to be our first competitive event. The forecast wasn’t promising, but our CD decided we should at least make the attempt. 6 turned out, with a few new models (and more still to come). Unfortunately, David had an issue with his model and didn’t compete, leaving 5 to battle it out in changeable conditions with very patchy lift.
In Rd1, Paul pushed Keith hard and only missing the landing points separated them. Ronnie also had an excellent flight with his Bitsa (Radian wing, Phoenix 2000 fuz)
Rd 2 & 3 followed a similar pattern, little separating Keith and Paul, with Sam showing well in Rd2 and Tommy in Rd3
At the end the result was close, with that missed landing really being the difference maker between Paul & Keith.

Slope Soaring / Micro Sinbad Build

Ralph noticed me mention this build on Facebook and 'told me off' 
for it not being on GliderIreland. Suitably chastened here's what's happened so far.
I've been doing a lot with foam and fibreglass recently and needed to do some woodworking again. Having seen Andrews Pug build I looked at the micros from Angelwing designs. I bought the micro Sinbad, ~£40. Delivered fast and the cutting is brilliant. It's designed for one of the Parkzone boards but after talking to the designer will easily take ultra micro servos which is what I intend to use. Will be covered in Fibafilm held on with Deluxe Maerials Cover Grip.
