Who says flying thermal soarers is boring?
KiwiKid replied to FilmBuff's topic in Gliders and Gliding - General Discussion
It's a very entertaining part of the hobby to participate in, but for the viewing public - not so much I fear. -
We wuz robbed! Seriously though, have to agree - great spectacle and very entertaining.

I have been immortalised in paint! Well it is on a toilet wall and will probably get graffitied, but it is the thought that counts. I was flying my Radian down at the park when a painter turned up to paint a mural on the toilets. His brief from the Council was to paint a mural reflecting park activities. He wandered around taking photos of various things and asked if he could take a pic of me flying the Radian to be included in the mural - I figured it would be good PR and told him to go ahead. Came out pretty good and gives me a chuckle every time I see it.

They have been tweaking it over the last week to give it a major upgrade - it is running faster now. -
In respect of the "trained pilots", this is an interesting development: **LINK**

A regular gripe I have seen people making is the number of bods on the wrong side of t'fence, blocking the view of the paying punters.

Posted by Tom Sharp 2 on 15/06/2019 15:17:52: Good news is, I am sitting in a nice warm house with my nice warm lady instead of sitting in a cold wet tent at Weston Park. I think you might have made the right call

Mmmm….. just had this message come up on my TX. Thought I had better check with the assembled inteligencia (and married chaps) - should I be concerned?

I think the poet intended you take the winter garment off before flinging it.

Really enjoyed the pics and write-up Phil - thanks for all the hard work you put in so others can share your adventures.

Just an update from the previous post on my Vulcan - she has proven to be really a fun sloper (which is what it was designed for) and is a very versatile model. Only problem I had initially was that the model was a bit light, so I built a ballast box on the cg and she now handles stronger winds better, but can revert to a light wind sloper when needed. Here's a vid of the maiden slope flight.

What really ticks me off is that the bounders sometimes pinch my pics to sell their (often hijacked) plans - has happened to me three times that I am aware of. Ironically, these particular plans are available for free electronic download. Edited By KiwiKid on 15/01/2019 10:19:27

For the FB challenged, I have included the item in onetenor's link below. Actually, if you have a particular interest or hobby, FB can be informative and a lot of fun - just avoid the morons posting pics of their breakfast and you will be fine.
