dirk tinck Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I'm just wondering How many sabres there will be flying off The Orme in June ! Me for sure , That's a fact ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Garsden Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Will be good to see you again Dirk. I will certainly be there for sure. We must make sure that we don't fly each other's models as we have chosen the same scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Cooke Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Yep Ill be there - with a Sabre! Dirk will you be staying in the UK all week as its Weston Park show the weekend after 19/20/21 June - the show starts on the Friday but you can camp there from Wednesday evening I think!

McG 6969 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Yep, the plan is to be there as part of the Belgian delegation. No idea if the Dog will be able to fly though... I'll do my best but I will also will have to find a test-pilot. Do some of the MB participants do use Taranis gear and a X8R Rx? As she gets increasingly intrigued, Iris will join me as well. So, I would like to have some assistance to find a B&B local to the Grand Orme. Is that possible? Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Twist Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Yep I'll be there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Gorham_ Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I should be there unless I repeat the mistake I made with the Hurricane mass build and try and do 4 all nighters in the run up to the meeting trying to get the Sabre done....live and learn... I've been meaning to ask: due to the date set for the mass build event is it still anticipated to hold the Lleyn event either last weekend of June or first weekend July? I know nothing will be set in stone yet, just wondering what the plan is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Cooke Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 the Lleyn event IS fixed and agreed - because of the mass build slotting in weve pushed our Lleyn plans back to 11th/12th July - its even already marked up on the Lleyn MAC website calendar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Chris Chris, I am sure that there will be a profundity of volunteers to help you. I think Mode 1 or Mode 2 will be the decider rather than the make of TX, as we can all fly any transmitter really. Tim Mackie is your local lad. He also works for the Council. There are literally hundreds of B&B's in Llandudno as it is a holiday town. You should have no problem Phil Cooke will tell you where he is staying. Dirk can also advise as he has stayed there before. There is a good Premier Inn where we have stayed before at Llandudno Junction, Trip Advisor will also help a lot. We usually meet for a meal at the Cottage Loaf on the Saturday night which Phil books. All places are very close to the Orme. Looking forward to meeting you next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Thank you for your time to forward some great advices, Peter. I'm basically Mode 2 with the ol' Spektrum but I bought a Taranis 9+ early this year. Still unused unfortunately as I still have to download Companion and get into it... I'm pretty sure Phil or Dirk will advise properly, about B&B, down the road. That 'Cottage Leaf' on Saturday evening, you're mentioning, sounds like a good plan altogether. Thanks again Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Barlow Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I'll be there probably with Noah and his camera too. All these Sabres and excellent weather booked it will be quite a spectacle! The food in the Cottage Loaf is fantastic Chris, definitely worth it! I use FrSky OS on my Horus X12 but also Open TX on my X7S so you should be OK. I'm sure there are some others using OpenTX too. As mentioned above it's also the Weston Park Model Show the weekend after so might be worth stopping over for the week and paying that a visit too. Amazing model airshow with just about everything RC as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Jennings 1 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Yup, I’ll be there, Sabre at the ready! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Ward 2 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I'll be there too, really looking forward to meeting everyone and checking out the other Sabre's in the flesh. Simon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn K Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Unfortunately, I may not be able to make it as its only 2 days before I disappear on holiday for 3 and a bit weeks. If I can make it, it will be Saturday only and I can almost guarantee a light easterly on that day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Gay Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Gordon and I will be there with two or three Sabres! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robk Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I will be there with my NASA x-plane version... fingers crossed that (a) I finish it, and (b) don't crash it before hand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grange Lawrenson Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Hi Dirk I will definitely be attending the mass build event, my son may also be there although he has a few health issues at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirk tinck Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Great guy's ! thanks Grange ! All the best to your son ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N Pritchett Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Hope to be there. Fairly new to slope soaring so may be a baptism of fire! Got the short kit and starting the build. Will be doing the RCAF display team ‘Gold’ colour scheme all being well. Looking forward to meeting and seeing the others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Gay Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Hello Neil, The Great Orme is a fantastic place to fly, and the PSSA group are a very friendly bunch. It is worth visiting for the social aspect alone! I am happy to set up my buddy-box system for you to fly my Sabre, weather permitting, as I have both mode1 & 2 available. Ade (**LINK**) is also modelling the "Golden Hawks" Sabre and may be able to help out with which specific paint colours/markings etc that he is using. Have a look at his thread and ask questions! Martin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N Pritchett Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Very thoughtful offer of the buddy box help, thanks Martin. I’ll certainly look at the link and seek advice from Ade. I’m not one for reinventing wheels! My only slope experience to date is a couple of times at Ivinghoe on mild days and a 3 day outing to a very blustery Mam Tor with 3 mates last spring (primarily flying a foam wing which was, fortunately, virtually indestructible).

Gordon S Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 For the group photo on the day of the comp, thought it might be nice to have small flag from each country taking part (even if not actually able to attend on the day!!). Sabre kit has been sold to 8 or 9 countries so far!! could be laid out on grass in front or on small flag poles behind us?? Would mean builders from USA, Japan etc could at least feel a part of the weekend?? Any thoughts?? (Might even let the English bring one!!?!?!?!?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Gay Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 That would mean that the following flags would be needed: Argentina, USA, England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Eire, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Japan and Australia.
