norbertflyer Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Anyone out and about any of these days? If so, we could arrange a meet/XC/flap/chat/etc. I want to try out the new SLR snappy thing in flight. Otherwise, I'll stay at my usual local site, if you fancy a drop by? cheers, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil1975 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I'll be in the area (on holiday) between Saturday (20th) & the following Thursday. Would be good to meet some of you for a couple of flights. Hopefully the weather will do what it's forecast to - looks like some good weather heading our way!

norbertflyer Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 Excellent day in the big gentle thermals with the motor (WEd 17th). Thank goodness for the convenience of in-flight electric starting. Had an issue with the changing wind direction (thermals) for the first midday flight and took nearly an hour to eventually take off. Settled down to a steady (ish) NNE 5mph for the further two afternoon flights. Just caught the Triumph balloon taking off from The Stone Manor about 630pm. G-OBRA is the very apt reg number!!! I have taken some video and stills on the new camera, but need to transfer them to the PC first and crop etc. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norbertflyer Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 I would prefer to fly for more than 1/2 an hour. Are you there all day, do you have car/van restrictions, what time do you have to start work? I'm free all day, but would prefer to fly with a buddy, if I'm going to Powick.
