bennyh Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Good work on getting that mouldie whistling geoff. I would have done the same with the big bird if I'd not broken the tail spar on a tussock ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffers Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Couldn't contain myself, so went back for some more - I had half day's leave due, so yesterday arvo looked good for more of the same - turned out to be a tad blowier! than last Sunday, which made for some "gripping" flying - very brief vid of the conditions....

bennyh Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Hope you got some time in Brean. I was kite surfing at weston in on/off conditions, more the latter than the former! Everyone was out of the water by about 1 due to no wind, but we could still see kites up over at Brean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffers Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Got out on the Downs with the blaster for an hour yesterday..... Hey Ben - must just have missed you, as I was up there 2ish for some late afternoon lift over the gorge - not huge height, but plenty to stay aloft and pi$$ the seagulls off :-) Met a guy called Richard Gammon (who I'd met up there a year ago) who's a past VP of the Charles River soaring lot (CRRCSim etc) in the states http://charlesriverrc.org/newsite/AboutUs_bod.html the launch peg came off. May need advice for fixing it please, geoffers Is your peg a Craig Robinson curved jobbie - have a look at this thread for some help (or search for CR throwing peg) http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1517237 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffers Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Managed some DS laps at Sand Point (WSM) last Sunday before the rains came - bit of a newbie at this lark (so don't expect miracles) but it felt exciting to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyh Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 It might not be Wheldon, more like Weston! Good effort Geoff, hope for some more of that soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oipigface Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Anybody heading to Whitesheet sometime in the next few days? It looks like good weather for a maiden, and I could use a bit of help with a launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggles Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hi, The "Guildford Crew" are down at the White Sheet all of this week for our annual Spring holiday, and will be up there every day, weather permitting. I am sure one or more of us will be happy to help you out with a launch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guy mckenzie Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I'm spending a week in the Port Isaac area and the wind is forcast sumit East. I there anywhere I can fly (a sloper) without travelling the length of the County? Thanks Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hi Guy, Not a lot of good easterly sites around that area that I am aware of. Hore Point by Looe, Rame Head this side of Plymouth is very good and Dodman Point but that's a long drive and a long walk. Would think Hore Point is your closest. I am going to give a new site by Porthsatho a go tomorrow but it is still quite a drive for you. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribs Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hello all,I just got back from a beautiful evening of bungee launching my Allegro off the back of Morgans at Whitesheet - where is everybody!?To be fair, there was blustery wind and rain showers, so I'm sure that put people off, but then this happened...Image will be here when I can figure out how!All the wind died, the sun came out and I had the world to myself to practise launches and spot landings with nothing but the cows for miles about.Tomorrow (Sunday October 12) is due to be 5-10mph ENE - perfect for Westbury. Hopefully see some people up there..cheers,Chris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
