I don't think this is a good thing......!

Getting my gear ready for the "Woollyback" Christmas Bash I was greeted with "Data Loss Immanent - Contact MPX Service" is not want you want to see.

If anyone out there has had this and found an quick fix please let me know!

Talking of the Woollybacks, the Farmer will be opening the gate for us at 08:30 am if you want to have a quick fly before the comeptition

All the best

Woollybacks F3F Bash Sunday 29 December

Hi All

I hope we have all had a good Christmas.

The weather forecasts are mixed for Sunday, but most will put us on the Mickey's and give us a good opportunity of flying with only a minimum chance of rain with some heavier stuff not arriving until mid/ late afternoon.

For those of you who are interested we will meet at the 'T' junction at 9:00 am on Sunday morning. Obviously, if you let know beforehand I can start cobbling together a flying order, but don't worry if your want to turn up on the morning we will still let your fly.

See you Sunday and all the best

SWSA F3F Winter League is off

Hi All

I am sorry to say that although one or two forecasts are suggesting the rain might not arrive until mid afternoon quite a few others are suggesting that it will arrive around or before midday. Added to this we have a mild and moist south to south-westerly air flow this time of year which could well mean clag prior to the rain. This in all reality means we won't have enough time to get a competition in.

So I am sad to say I will have to call tomorrows competition off!

On a more brighter note may I take this opportunity to  wish you all a happy Christmas. If it's  Christmas, it means  it's Woollyback time! Looking at the calendar Sunday the 29 falls nicely between Christmas and New Year. So if I get enough interest I will propose to  run it on this date.

I look forward to seeing you all soon and all the best

SWSA F3F Welsh Winter League call on hold

Hi all

Hum, I have to say that pissing people off on a Friday night is one of the worst jobs of being a CD!  Looking at the a couple of forecasts  they really don't give us a lot of hope of getting a competition on Sunday with clag in the morning giving way to rain in the afternoon.

However, there are one or two forecasts starting to show signs of improvement. So seeing as we haven't managed to get a round in yet for the winter league I will give it every opportunity to improve and make a call by midday tomorrow .

Sorry for the delay but I think we need to give it every chance and all the best

SWSA F3F Winter League

Hi All 

We will try again! Sunday is the first round of the SWSA F3F winter league. I will make a call Friday if the competition is on and if so mare details of meeting times.

If I can have entries by Saturday I would be grateful as it helps with organising the flying order and get things running on the day. However, if you wake up Sunday morning and decide at the last minute you want to fly you will more than welcome, but you might find yourself early in the flying order!

If you are thinking about having a go in F3F the winter league is a great place to start, it's all pretty informal and don't worry if you haven't got the latest state of the art carbon fibre dream machine to have a go.  Sure it nice to have but it is more important that you have a go at standing in the center of a course and trying to fly a kilometer as fast as you can with what ever plane you have got.  Better to find out flying a foamie that F3F is for you than spending thousands only to find out you have made an expensive mistake!   

Looking forward to seeing you all Sunday

First Round of the Welsh F3F Winter league is OFF

Hi All

sorry for the late post but I have just got in from work. I have to be honest it doesn't look good for Sunday. For the last couple of days rain was the main concern but this now has past. The real problem now is no wind as there appears to be a big high pressure sat on top of us.

Of the five weather sites  I have looked at only one is giving us flyable conditions which is the Met office mountain forecast on the Wrecker, true this is one of the most reliable.  Every other site is give between 2 to 5 mph with variable directions with everything from the Crest to the VR slope s we could end up chasing the wind all day.  

As always with the Bwlch you could go up Sunday and it could be great but I have to make a call now as I am working tomorrow and I am afraid that with the way things are looking at the moment I think the best thing is to call it off.

All the best
