  • Jolly cold here!

    Right, put my thermals on, hat and gloves at the ready, just eaten my Ready Brek (central heating for heliaddicts) and heading to the field shortly.

    Tis gloriously sunny tho, not too much wind but the sidebar widget is showing -3 degrees celcius. Hope my LiPos can stand it...

    How about you guys? Flying today?

    No..........planning lessons for next week and completing assignments.

    Another fab day missed.

    Oh well, hopefully get the 3G installation finished on my 500 this week ready for next weekend.

    Have a good session.
    Cheers,
    Simon

                    Have a good day Martin. Will [prob] be going out later this afternoon when the wind is subsiding, allegedly

                      This has been my experience most of the winter. It might look sunny and nice but is colder than you think once you get out there. For me it needs to be as close as possible to double figures, really 8 or 9 and not too windy. But I think I'll try tomorrow and see what happens, it's supposed to be sunny and 6 degrees over here.

                        It's a good job you didn't risk it sheryl, it's so bitterly cold here and the wind is not dieing. Been here over an hour and not flown a thing. Going to call it a day very soon

                            Be a bit warmer this afternoon, when the wind drops Darren.
