slopeflyer Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Think I might go to Dirty Bassett.Don't tell porkies. Surely there is another westerly somewhere in that expanse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_B Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 there are set flying areas on the Mynd ....thats how you can have the multitude of disciplines without to much agro ...and its also a condition of the NT letting us fly there ..........but there are other places to go other than the Mynd ......

MikeDaBike Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 Had a great day out at Bertie Dassett this afternoon. Have just ordered an upgrade to lipo for the DX8 and various other goodies. Hopefully they'll arrive for the weekend. Online shopping is always a bit dangerous ...

In fairness to BD you can usually fly without too much bother in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been messing a bit more and have new linkages on there now so the rons/flaps/vator are rock solid/accurate and slop free. Plus I have a pilot. Weather permitting I 'may' chuck the old girl. Woohoo.

slopeflyer Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I mean the asw would be grounded. Not flying the old girl in 35 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeDaBike Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 Ermmm, 35 mph is at least 10 mph more than I've ever flown in. Edge Hill might be hence more appropriate ; just love landing there for some reason. Let's see how the weather is on Sunday then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeDaBike Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 On second thoughts, would a typhoon work in 35 mph if suitably ballasted ? Thoughts please .... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slopeflyer Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Just checked the forecast, xc says 16mph. That would prolly be min 25 on the mynd. That would be good. Xc has direction as wnw/w so edge would be ok, but a poss a bit over tje trees to the left. Forecast for tommorrow is 22 but if storms blow over it could underestimate.
