Was going to suggest Palm Bay as venue for a fly-in this week, however my weather app is currently forecasting temperatures feeling like 3 degrees with SW winds 18 - 28 mph with rain early morning and late afternoon. I will be keeping an eye on this forecast in the hope that it improves as at the moment I don't feel inclined to travel that distance for such high winds.

My weather app predicts sunshine, a light breeze and 21 degrees.
Oh sorry, that's Rome.

18-28 mph would suit my new acquisitions!

If you would all like to fly on Saturday that's ok by me (not sure of my availability yet). What does everyone else think? Mike  |

Unlikely I can make Saturday. Hopefully I can make Sunday.

I now can't make Saturday (family visiting) and don't like the winds forecast for Sunday.That doesn't mean that the rest of you cannot get together and fly though. Mike |

Still happy to fly on Sunday, can cope with high winds. New PP, small butterfly plus was given a Super 10 Rainbow by a friend so keen to give it a go.

I've got nothing I'm prepared to sacrifice in those winds Tim but I'll come along for a chat and keep you company. I hope to be there around 1.

At the moment it's a bright sunny day with no sign of freight-train winds.

Well at least I wasn't alone, Tim Rolfe and Martin Forman joined me.
The wind was all over the place but at least it was westerly. Tim tried out most of his new toys and Martin joined him with a stunt kite of his own. I put my original Smilie up with the intention of putting the other two with it but the wind was so blustery that it would've been silly to try it; at least we managed 3 hours of fun with our kites.
