Welcome Stu, most of us here had a break to do 'life', then saw the error of our ways and came back to the real thing!:)

Thanks for the hellos. I'm in Prenton area not far from the golf course Pol. Never thought about Thursaston for slope soaring either. Plus it is usually pretty windy around here, rainy as well unfortunately.

Do you know if there are any bylaws about flying around here? I was thinking about going to the vast emptiness of Hoylake seafront. I've had the trucks out in lots of places and only ever attracted positive attention....
Unfortunately the model shops around here seem to be rapidly disappearing and I used to get my info off them. I can only think of one left now.

I think the main thing to watch out for is the general public wandering into the way. They won't appreciate copping a fast-moving model on the back of their head, but they're too thick to get out of the way!
Make sure you are insured!!!!

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.
