23rd April - 1st GPS Training day of 2016

Post by john greenfield »

All

I am pleased to advise that I will be holding the first GPS Training day of 2016 at the NLMFC flying club site at Baldock, Hertfordshire on the 23rd April.
All those with an interest in GPS Triangle flying are invited. Tugs will be available for all sizes of models and loan equipment will be available for those who do not have their own GPS Equipment.
The latest kit from RC-Electronics and the new Skynavigator running on Android will be available for demonstration.
No competition flying but a chance to have a go flying the task with Expert ? advise and assistance on hand. Any type of glider or self launch glider will be welcome with no requirements to meet the specifications of formal competition so if you fancy having a go at this type of flying come along.
So I have an idea of numbers likely to attend please respond to this post advising if you will be attending.

Hi John

I will be there and will bring loan RC Electronics T3000's and airborne packs for anyone who wants to try it out.

I will have just returned from a round trip to Czech so might sleep for most of the day but I will be there.

If you intend to use your ASW 20 to fly triangles on the 23rd I strongly suggest that you get out and fly it quite a bit to get familiar with it first.
There is quite a lot to take in flying GPS Triangles and you need a model you are very comfortable flying so you can exercise your brain to analyse all the info being transmitted to you.
Not easy if you are trimming a model out !

John,

I haven't quite finished the ASW20 yet! I Should have it ready for a maiden soon, possibly on the 23rd if work gets in the way.

I was just interested in coming along to find out about triangle racing.

Not sure if my DLG, ultra light weight 2m or for that matter, my pilot skills are up to GPS tasks.

Training day plans all in place for next weekend (23rd April) with experienced tug pilots to tow your models.
Loan sets of GPS kit will be available along with demo versions of both the T3000 and Syknavigator for Android.
If you do not have your own kit and wish to borrow a loan set please ensure you have an extension lead with a servo end plug ON BOTH ENDS plugged into a spare channel on your receiver so we can connect up the GPS kit. The kit is very small and light and can just rest in the cockpit.
Self launch gliders are also welcome.
Gates open at 9.30am. the address is Warren Lane , Baldock.
Any issues, please call John on 07710 924721.
