Unfortunately Its looking doubtful that i'm going to be able to join you all for some fun festive racing. i'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that the weather is kind for the event, its long overdue. Wishing you all a very enjoyable day's racing. Stu. Thanks Stuart, Would be great to see you but fully understand if its not possible. If anyone decides to come along, pre-entry is not required you can just turn up on the day, the above list at least lets us know we have enough to run a comp. Although if you can let me know in advance it does help (Flying order\timing sheets etc) Lets hope we will confuse the weather by running it on the Monday Thanks Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Bertschi Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 If next Sunday doesn't happen due to bad weather (which I don't hope). You can highly likely count me in for the Woolyback. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Bertschi Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Just changed by flight bookings from this week end to the next one. So I'm looking forward to some Boxing Day shopping in London (with the wife) and some flying in Wales. Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin_N Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Hi All, I will make a weather call on the Sunday morning between 1Oak and 12 to give the weather stations a chance to update the information. Hopefully the weather will be more predictable before then. Thanks Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parkspeed Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Hi Martin, A mate of mine would like to have a go, is he able to enter and fly my Typhoon? I'm assuming a bit of sport flying is not possible? Cheers Simon P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, but to turn it into a sport fly when people are traveling the length and breth of the country, they can sport fly on there own local slopes. If the wind drops below 3m\s then spors flying it will be. Look at it this way, if the wind looks light how many do you think will travel all the way to Wales for a sport fly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But looking at the current trends in weather - very unlikely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin_N Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 100% Mark, if it's blowing 20m\s and clear skys everyone is going to want to be racing not sport flying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin_N Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Simon, Has your mate done slope flying before? It maybe a better idea to use a foamy instead of a molded model, ie an epp racer or zagy. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
