morgy Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Hi Luke I have just spoken to seymor.... We have a little plan of action!! The wind is looking like its going to be about 10/14knotts in the morning so we plan to take you to our little semi secret spot...... so bring your kite gear and your motor down as the wind should be dropping in the afternoon.... Give me a ring and i will explain all.... 07731599660 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_6095 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Anyone flying on Sunday 20th in Surrey / South East? Weather looks pretty good and I have a free day - these two circumstances have not coincided for a while...! I was thinking of calling Barry and taking off from there unless there is another plan. Steve, Luke - you guys flying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hi I think Steve will still be away but not 100% sure. I might be around and i think seymor was on about flying on sunday. But will have to wait to see what the weather does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seymore Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I,m up for a flight on Sunday and might get one in this evening after this horrible weather front has passed. as for Sunday, looking at the Rasp Tables it looks like the perfect day for a trip over to the Isle of Wight if we can find anywhere to takeoff down that way. Or maybe get hold of George and fly from the field he uses and coastal fly along to Portsmouth and back. Any way I am up for something and we can always go from my place.

morgy Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hi Dude I have just looked at the pasp and it's saying NE going E and picking up. I know a couple of places to take off from down that way but not sure about flying over water with a head wind on the way back esp as it's meant to pick up plus cloud base is looking like its going to be around 2000ft (not good)...

fordnmt Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Yes - I am up for flying tomorrow too - just need to fit my new throttle.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_6095 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Anyone else get flying today? Did the Isle of White trip happen? Managed a 45k round trip from Barry's to the Top Gear track. Someone was rudely flying a heli around the runway so we couldn't get too close...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I dont think they would have done the isle of white trip due to conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordnmt Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 No Isle of Wight yesterday - but did get up yesterday from seymore's and flew down to the coast and back. Inland it was like flying in soup but nearer the coast the sun was out and it was surprisingly thermic. I also found out that it's not a good idea to attach a petrol check mirror low (nearer the prop)......Its now shattered into tiny pieces - prop is OK. Next one I make I'll attach it higher so it doesn't have a chance of contact.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
