Sounds interesting, may take a peek Mike

No, Trevor at Par-avion is concentrating on Tow and Hill, Power has ceased and l believe P M has left the school. Mike

Just to add that if you go to U Tube and type in "Mike taking off" you will see how easy a new wing launches

I completely agree with Francis. and one addition to what to do with old wings is to cut them up into about four pieces and make kites. I first started on a PG wing which l had used for freeflying and it had accumalated about 150hrs. Still fine for PG but it was a bxxxxxxd to launch with a motor. I thought it was me doing something wrong. Then when l got the Synthesis, it was a completely new ball game. The wing come up when l wanted it to and stayed nice and stable throughout the launch. So yes get a new wing and practice your groundhandling with that. The rest should come that little bit easier. IMO Regards Mike

I havn't had a jump for about ten years or more (sad) but up for one if there is a group jump. got about hundred jumps under my belt and got to the stage of unstable exits and 30sec delays. Mike

Hi Simon, It would be a sort of revision, but l havent used RT procedure for many years now and to commit to a day will be hard for me as l have taken quite a few days of this year for the Tip to Tip and the Dartmoor training weekends. As it is we have one current Pilot in RT procedure (SP) l believe, and obviously two would be more beneficial for the Tip to Tip, so although l may not be current l can be a standby. (your thoughts on this Simon). Mike

Roger, over. Mike

and the TVHGC Club as well Mike

Hi Russ, welcome to the forum, you will enjoy the Club and its fairly local to you so not to much travelling. Takes me an hour each way but always worth the trip. We will always need help on the Tip to Tip. Have a word with the group when you pop down to Lambourn. Regards Mike

all, I will be down but much later in the day, a couple of domestic jobs to do in the morning then a brief half hour at Milk and then onto Lambourn in the afternoon. Hope to catch up with your XC return and follow you in Regards Mike

I'll be there if it comes on. Mike

Bugger! Hi Simon, l looked out the window this morning and thought somebody will be flying, well done mate. Will get my fix soon Mike

Torch and or candles toilet rolls fairly obvious but the times l've needed a cxxp and had nothing to you know what

Simon, l may have a contact who can supply smoke canisters for the event. These will probably be orange flairs which the Red Devil Parachute team use because they say it stands out more than the other colours. Mike

Hi Simon, great clip, sure we will be adding to that over the next few months eh! - - - -Weather crap Sun, as you said, so starting the motor in the back garden and dream of blue skies and fluffy white clouds. At least the evenings are starting to get longer, the good stuff is infront of us. Mike

All, Sunday's looking promising (fingers crossed) will be down to Lambourn, kit in hand as long as weather plays ball. Regards Mike

All, more great news, this event is really taking off. Skywings is hoping to advertise it in the March edition. Mike

Let me try it Martin, then l will find a black sack to chuck it in if l come to the same conclusion

Welcome 'G', sounds like a great addition to the team, you won't be dissapointed. Regards Mike

Hi Simon, any updates on the three blade props. See you in the morning Mike

Hi Simon, as spoken today, look forward to Sunday meeting and perhaps a little flight as well if this blasted weather improves. Let us know what time you would like us all there. Regards Mike

Simon, l still have a few from the Xmas party, will bring down the SD card for on the spot transfer on Sunday Mike

Hi Simon, I was in Spain visiting relations. just got back. but hoping to be wherever you are on Sunday. still pleading with the boss about Saturday, but Sunday a definate (weather permitting) Regards Mike

Ok l'm bored to, (3007) its dark, cold, no sunshine, middle of the week, to late to listen to the motor, watched all the DVD's, probably wake up in the morning to lots of snow. But Hey, only SEVEN months to go for the Tip to Tip. Mike p.S. Eastenders is boring as well?

Morning Simon, your online so can't be at the field. Has the fog lifted, is it worth the journey. bloody allfull up here. Mike
