safe flying,

Brian Slater.

The summer is over and those lazy evening flying sessions have come to an end for another

year.Generally it has been a good season, certainly better than last year though windy at times.There have

regularly been good numbers of fliers on the Chuter Ede field with a wide variety of models. Lots of electric

models and, dare I say it lots of he**********ters too. Most members are now using 2.4GHz.radio and even

the carbon fuselage competition glider pilots are now catered for with the latest receivers. The technology is

racing ahead with alarming speed, though even an old codger like me is trying to keep up!

There have been a number of well attended meetings at Albemarle Barracks this summer and both of

these have been well photograhed and videoed - thanks to the many contributors whose efforts can be seen

in the Gallery section of this site. Special thanks to David Effard

who has made a large collection of videos available.

Club meetings have also been well attended and though

often short these days, they are (nearly) always sweet, unlike a

couple of seasons ago.

Hope you all enjoy some flying during the coming winter

months. As for me, I’m busy with a new high tech electric glider and

when the weather is right I’ll be out flying on the slope in my front

garden!
