Olly P Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Well, stole some shed time last night. batteries charged, and 1 airframe repaired (the powered one!). Having checked over the 'short term' repairs made last year to the Sabre - I am happy to fly it tomorrow. I will strip and re-cover at some stage though. Had the nod from SWMBO to join everyone for tomorrow only, but have to be home by 4, therefore away by 2. See you all there! Tim - any chance you can post the directions to the tank track car park again?? Thanks Olly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Mackey Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Cant find the old thread and pictures and on a phone right now -basically just head right up main st to the top and see the empire hotel. Turn right and immediate left to go around the back of fthe hotel - go up the hill all the way until you reach the halfway tram station. Just after that turn right and go down past the churchyard and join the marine drive - turn left ( one way ) and then after the cafe turn left up the tank track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Jones Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Hmm, rules out anything scale I've got ready, only got a foamie Typhoon converted for slope that's only had one very short maiden flight . Looks like the old SAS Fusion is going to be in service again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Mackey Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Years of sloping the orme has taught me one thing at least -bring everything that flys - this little microclimate on this big rock can throw up anything and vary wildly in very short time.

Ian Jones Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Okay, will do. Just thinking, I have been advised about that in he past ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avtur Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I hope the wind keeps the skys clear for you guys this weekend, last weekend saw some very strange sea mist conditions the like I've never seen before. Looking up there was blue sky but looking sideways visibility was down to 200-300 metres, there are some interesting aerial pictures on the web. Have fun ...

Phil Cooke Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Thanks to all who attended our first fly for fun event of the 2015 season, it was great to see a full car park and so many new, exciting models on show. A shame we had to cancel any flying today with the storm force winds (Andy Meade measured the winds gusting to 103mph on the edge this morning - certainly too much for any of our scale models so the decision to cancel was a no brainer with the winds shown at high strength with rain all day) So I was very glad that yesterday was such a good one - none stop flying from 9:30am - 45-50mph winds on the most favoured slope with unbroken sunny skies for the majority. It was a day that will be remembered for maiden flights - I think I counted 9 in total, and all successful! Star of the show was of course Matt Jones with his magnificent Sea Vixen - a one off museum quality model - and a joy to see it in action - well done from us all Matt. It's only 9 weeks wait until our next visit!! See you then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Garsden Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Big thanks to Phil and the committee for an awesome event. I have a picture I took before doing some formation flying with my fraudulently weighed Tornado Will have to wait until I have my laptop as my phone won't upload pictures. Mr mediator is that right?

Robert Armstrong 2 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Came to see what a PSS event was like. I'm afraid I am going to need a bigger shed. Put some pics in an album titled GreatOrme2015-04. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
