Eric Robson Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 1 minute ago, Geoff S said: I'm aiming for Saturday, too. We're 50 miles away by road, less as the crow flies (WNW roughly) so the weather at home isn't likely to be much different so I'll make a suitable judgement. I admit SLEC's attendance is a big draw as it saves postage (though not fuel 🙂 ) You get to select your balsa which is a bonus . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Despite the weather I will be calling in later today to say Hi/chat and put faces to a few formites over a warm drink 😀 David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futura57 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 (edited) The weather forecast looks favourable for flying Saturday & Sunday. I'm still not sure if I can or want to make the 300+ mile round trip. Plan A was to travel up today (Friday) and bring a 1 man tent. I have to resort to plan B now and find a reasonably priced B&B for Friday & Saturday night. Any suggestions or recommendations please while I trawl T'internet? Ta Anyone have a comfy sofa I could sleep on 🤣 Edited September 27 by Futura57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futura57 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Ok, I'm booked and committed. Unfortunately there are a still a couple of minor mods necessary on my Strange Quark EDF model. I shall bring it along but will be unable to fly it on this occasion. Just a Top Quark and KK Student to fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Gray Posted September 27 Author Share Posted September 27 A bit on the breezy side today but a couple of brave souls got some flights in. Great trade presence with superb stands, SLEC (feat Tony N), Inwood Models, Fighter Aces, Modern Vintage Models, Warbirds Replicas, Southern Modelcraft. It looks like tomorrow is going to be an excellent day for flying, and if today is anything to go by, jawing too. Cafe is doing a great trade and I’ve already booked my breakfast for tomorrow and Sunday and I’ve gone ‘large’ on the basis that Elmo needs feeding up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Harris Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 I'd of liked to have come a flown the British gyro flag but presumed it was a fixed wing fly-in. Have just had confirmation it is multi discipline event. A bit late in the day for me as I've made other arrangements but a heads up for anyone who wants to fly something British that's not a FW. Looks like it's going to be a good couple of days flying gents, don't forget to post plenty of photos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Gray Posted September 27 Author Share Posted September 27 That’s a shame Richard and a point to note for next year. It would be nice to be able to have dedicated slots for gyros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Lewis 3 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 30 minutes ago, Lipo Man said: Are there power sockets for battery charging? Yes both in the Hanger (but you cannot leave LiPo's charging unattended) and just behind the flightline outside on the Barn wall where you can. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
