Darren_O Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Couple of us going up today. Tank tracks slope on the Orme. SW right into slope:) Edit: turned out nice after a grey start. Good crowd with some nice models flown and a bit of combat action of course:) Nothing more satisfying than watching someone walk back up with model in hand after a good hit:) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f3fman Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I presume you mean two models "accidently" hit each other when you were doing close formation flying ;-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren_O Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Another great day on the Orme, warms my cockles to see so many flying, topped off with a local school teacher bringing his pupils up flying. Also maidened my Sigma II with the help of Geoff (skyline) an absolute gent who gave me a launch and sound advice that helped me leave with everything in one piece My Sigma and Wild thing, second pic one of the pupils flying a zagi with the Carneddau in the background, gorse ablaze. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren_O Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Glider fishing with Allan. His Fox will need a few repairs... HUGE lift on the Orme today NE into the ski slope 25+ ASW28 2.5m Great for the Orme with a nylon fuse it takes the odd rock in it's stride Not to be outdone I planted a banana tree as we were leaving, luckily This rescue was a bit easier....

Darren_O Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Look out if you're flying the Orme, litter Nazi's are hiding in cars dishing out fines to smokers flicking ash. So if you smoke you'll have to go back to your car and use the ashtray. Pathetic I know, but I've seen them hand out a fine for chucking a chip to a seagull and even a dropped ice cream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren_O Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Great day for sloping and a good turnout. Also witnessed a miracle. Big scale ship was belting around and it looked like it went into a high speed stall, went down like it had been shot. Screamed down below the cliff out of sight and I thought he'd be lucky to find a part bigger than a 50p. 15 minutes later the rescuer came up with the plane in one piece and a grin wider than the wingspan. It was found beyond the road over the wall amongst the rocks and yet all it suffered was a dislocated wing tip. Never seen anything like it. Even foam combat wings come back from there in a bag. I hope the pilot buys a lottery ticket on his way home. Middle pic you can just make him out coming back over the wall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
