Hi Ralph,

Count me in if my planes are ready ! :D

I'll let you know, but that should be OK.

Anyone else from Dublin want to join ?

Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!

Hey Joe,

Surprise surprise... I'm working on a plan and in a cheap motor set... :D  :D
The plan and plane will be finish by the end of the week, but I have to wait for the plane to be finish before I order the motor set. I'll let you know.

Got plans for both of these plans on http://www.3dfoamy.com.They are both 40".Just need to figure out a power system!
I might scale up one of the plans and use a Axi 2820/10 I have too! Have lots of Depron.Will start next week!

Nice Joe !

For a power system, I'm looking at 2 or 3 possibilities (cheap..).. I'll let you know...

For mine, that will be a Biplan with a 3D fuselage... Plans are finished but I may see it a bit too big  :oops:

Wingspan is 1mtrs.. Most of the biplan are 80 cms, 90cm is the  maximum I've found.. But I want to use 6mm depron , so I have enlarged the wing surface to keep the wing loading low... Should not be a big issue to fly indoor... I start the building this week and I'll post some pictures.

Shit! Feck! Bugger!
That date isn't going to work for me I don't think.
Will finish my foamy anyway and find somewhere local to fly!

Sorry Joe, had no choice, we got moved by the hall owners!
Maybe next time

Joe, Fancy organising something over Christmas that we could travel from Cork to, if we can get our passports in order?

Thanks
Ralph

Have been looking into various venues in and around Dublin in the last few days for indoor flying.Problem is they are quite expencive to hire at about €50 an hour! We would need at least ten people paying twenty quid each to get five/six hours flying.UCD gets quiet when the students leave in mid December and I think their hall is a double basketball court.Which could be good!.
Will also look around my area,Wexford.Would be cheaper I'd say,but not so many options.
If you had a rough idea of how people would be interested from Cork that would be a great help. :D  :D
Is a basketball court size hall too small? Is that what you're using?
