Hi Phil, here are some pictures from Garway
hill, flyable in NW winds - it is about 10 miles north of Monmouth
and has good views of the Black mountains to the north west. It is not really
comparable to Selsley (with takes the same wind direction), it is higher and
has a definite slope on the back face which should be avoided. The lift was
very good when I was there but a bit bumpy, the landing is on thick ferns that
cover the whole area. These pics were taken from my o.d. thermal glider
which was the wrong model really for this slope - a heavier glass glider
would have been better.

Selsley was good until 3.30PM when the wind went NNE spoiling the lift.
Bryan's ASW27 went well
In the evening I joined Gordon and CB at CRCS Aston Down, we were surprised
to find only one CRCS member there on a very pleasant evening
The Pitts is great 3D machine capable of doing all the tricks
We rounded off the evening with a visit to the Crown at Frampton Mansell, some
excellent beers but missed last orders for food

Thursday
Very pleasant in the morning but in the afternoon the wind picked up and
went onto the west slope, a little too breezy for us

Sunday
The CRCS wacky race day, Nick arrived with the barbeque but none of the race
equipment arrived. A very sunny day with a westerly breeze, the far runway was
used. Only one person was daft enough to try flying under a limbo with metal
poles and a rope

Wednesday July 15th 6.30 for 7.00PM electric thermal comp, any model with an electric
motor, Zagi, power model. Just for fun no prizes
Electric Thermal Comp. 200watts/kg.
This is to be a fun comp and any electric model can be used
as allowances are made for power to weight ratio, models will be weighed and
motor power measured.
Rules based on a 30sec motor run for a model weighing 1Kg
and a motor power of 200watts, models will be weighed and motor power measured
and run time will then be calculated (Kg x 1000/Watts x 6 ) for example a model
weighing 2Kg & with only a motor power of 250watt would have 48sec motor
run.
A 10 minute slot time will start after motor off there will be a 50 point bonus
for landing within the landing box & 25 points for a model partly in the
box, no bonus applicable for an overfly of the 10 minutes
The thermal comp against Malvern SA will be July 26th at Fish Meadow

Hi I'm looking for a trade for this aircraft (hanger 9 piper cub) with a
66" wingspan and sc46 engine.
I actually bought the aircraft from this site from a chap who assured me it had
only been flown once and has a new sc46 engine it also has 4 acoms as12 ic
servos but will need an rx.
It looks it in brilliant condition and starts easily it will need the wing
struts fitting though i think which will need to be obtained, the only reason im
looking to trade it out is im a newbie to ic aircraft so im going to concentrate
on the other plane i have to learn on as this is to nice to be thrashed by a
newbie to fixed wing flying such as myself.
Would like something electric and more suited to a new flyer such as a high wing
trainer, powered glider etc.
If your interested i can be contacted on.
07773999831 or jayrttn@yahoo.co.uk
thanks for looking
Jason
