Tim Mackey Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 What no touch and go's ? Huh, and to think of all that time I spent teaching him - must have spent at least, er, lets see now, an hour total ? Damn kids LOL Good on yer Mikey, lets have you back up here for some more combat matey. How's Friday looking for you guys? - a few of us are gathering on the big rock for what promises to be a good session with some perfect conditions forecast to date.

Tim Mackey Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 yeh, well it was perfect when I looked late last night - as Poly says, it changes like, er, the wind! Saturday looks distinctly like you may need the anchor rope to keep you upright at the edge - 30MPH+ at seal level often almost doubles at the top of the big rock. Well just keep an eye onthings as usual, but some peeps have made arrangements already for Friday, and you know what they say - theres no such thing as bad weather, just unsuitable clothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Leigh Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Well since we'll be near the sea, let me respond with a pirate-y "oooo arrrr, shiver me timbers, that's a fine blow you have going there". I'm off for a lie down, I can't deal with the level of meteorological uncertainty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffy Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Cheers Timbo for the info it is a very long thread. There must be a SAS owners club formation soon, especially that Alan Head might be retiring, uuhh. Better get a fusion aswell as the wildthing that i got for my B'DAY.

Mikey Wood Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 He he! I can't wait Kev. To be honest Tim, I don't think Thurstaston is to great for touch and goes. Can't quite get enough height to be able to get up speed when you come behind the slope. I will practice them at the big rock. Mikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Flying Pig Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I was flying a couple of weekends ago at Ivinghoe Beacon when a Red Kite starts to follow me. I to right, it goes right etc.. Anyway a little while later it goes for my 'thing - I guess it must have been protecting a nest, thinking I was a predator: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Leigh Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Well my WT has been treated to a new fuz after the Big Rock ate the first much repaired one. That's now been elevated to a shelf above my desk. Just in case I ever get a bit cocky and think I know what I'm doing. Flew the re-covered wing/new fuz one, and - however many other models I fly - I'll always love my thing My touch and go v touch and crash ration is about 1:1 so far. All good fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
