    Hello there,
    The first ISR Fly-In of the year will be held the 10th and 11th of May 2008 at Mount Leinster.
    Note that Vincent and Joelle Besancon from France will be there, flying with us !! :D:D
    The event is spread on 2 days to allow people coming from far away (Kerry and so on...) to have a bit of a rest and enjoy the week end without having to rush on the roads !

    Why do three people have their bonnets open on their cars in a few of the photos?

    bonnets open on their cars

    I guess they are using car battery to charge receiver ones .

    Hi,
    Exactly ! Field chargers :)

    Slept in a B&B, had to charge everything the next day at the field...

    Fred
    No electricity?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 351 ✭✭loopingfred


    Well..No...
    We are in Mt Leinster, in the middle of nowhere !
    Hard enough to have broadband in this country, so electricity in the mountains...:D:p

    But who need electricity when most of the charger are 12 volts anyway ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 351 ✭✭loopingfred


    Oh, I know what you mean now ! :o
    In the B&B !?

    Car was packed ! You don't empty the car to charge in the B&B, much better to do that at the field when the model is setup.

    PS : my statement about broadband stand ! :p
