flytilbroke Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Where does the WE ALL apply? The weather has been excellent near Ben Nevis, yesterday AND today. Ps, please stop using that four letter swear word, W*&% as I am retired and intensely dislike it. More Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Card Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 I suspect you'd dislike it even more if you were still working FTB. Hope you get some nice flying in tomorrow. Think of me forlornly staring out of the office window... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 It's been a great day for flying today here. So much so that I've taken the opportunity to fit and join new kitchen worktops No flying for me... oodles of Brownie points earned though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup not the best of weekends, too windy to fly but there's still light for an evening fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flite08 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Sunday at the Nats was almost a wash out or should that be a wind out!! I must admit that being retired has its benefits, if the weathers good just go flying simple really, with eneloops in your Tx and Lipos in the plane its always ready. Sorry you guys who are still working !!! FL08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Saturday was fantastic for sloping, flew my Le Fish, 4m Discus, Miniblade and Wildthing. Today this afternoon was too calm for sloping so had to make do with a couple of hours power flying. Excellent bank holiday weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Hooper Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Posted by Chris Bott on 30/08/2010 19:08:20: oodles of Brownie points earned though Just a shame that Brownie Points have such a short shelf-life though, eh? A superb flying day here in Telford. Got to the field at noon, and got home around 8pm. We flew lots of models, and only damaged one (very slightly - honest!) The mornings breeze progressively died away as the day passed, and the evening calm saw the little models take to the air, although Netty's huge Bird of Time glider took the Final Flight of the Day honours. marvellous! tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't they expire quickly, you're absolutely right! Mind you, right at the moment I have the green light for a DX8. I just hope they arrive in the shops while it still lasts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Grigg Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Such a lovely day today that lots of people turned up.To many for me so I had 3 models,1 flight each.Our poor club chairman is really knocked about,bits missing all over the place.He was at Middle Wallop doing free flight and as he was picking up a lage model to launch the wind caught the model and the prop dipped straight into both arms and a leg.He is a game fellow.he was bandaged up at the field and drove himself to Basingstoke Hospital.You could say he is very independant.

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Sometimes I just know that the weather Gods have a sense of humour. I travel 160 miles to the Nats and there's hardly any flying because of the wind. I slug it out all weekend, right through to Monday, "In case it improves"! End up with a another 160 mile drive home late Monday. Get up Tuesday morning (feeling very tired from the drive and two nights trying to get some sleep in a tent during a mini-hurricane) - not a breath of wind and the sun is shinning - and I have to go to work BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
