    DLG funfly this Sat?

    Hi DLG fans,

    Just wanna give a shoutout to all DLG-ers or anyone who is interested in picking up DLG. If you're in the area (East) on Sat morning (from 8.30 am) do drop by at the field opposite Tamp bike park (Tampines Ave 9) for a dlg funfly. We can share our experiences with DLG and/or just show off what you've got.

    If there are enough people, I will bring down my "wind indicator poles", so that we can practice reading the air.

    Let's hope for good weather.

    Cheers,
    Adnan

      Hey bro,

      New, Old, it really doesn't matter. All of us are in a constant state of learning and refining our skills. I will be there from around 8.30 am. I like flying in the mornings to practice my launches and really hone in the skills of hooking those weak thermals.

      Cheers,

        Cool. I will try to wake up earlier then (im normally a late waker on weekends). Will meet you at about 9-10am. Which side of the field do you guys normally fly at?

          Hi,

          The DLG field at the junction of Tampines Avenue 9 and 7, opposite the Bike Park:
          Tampines Avenue 9 is a Secondary Road in Tampines. Nearest Tampines MRT (EW2) is 10 mins away. Discover maps, directions, photos, reviews and what is nearby like MRTs, LRTs and Shopping Centres within 2km.


          Normally, I would park in the Bike Park and walk over with the model.

          I am looking forward to a good flying morning tomorrow. See you there.

          Regards,
          Ronald.

            Good fun today! 2 Steigeisens, 1 low wing Predator and a mini Topsky. I hope I can do this in regular basis.

              Yeah man! Conditions were varied throughout the session, windy initially, small thermals here and there and then, nice big thermals just before the sudden downpour. Well it wasn't that sudden, we were just biding our time. :wink5:

              The little Mini Topsky held its own against its bigger counterparts. Launches high, responsive on the sticks all in a nice small package. The only thing holding it back was the lack of mass making it difficult to penetrate through stronger winds while going upwind. But all in all, looks like a good candidate for guys who may want to take the first step into DLG.

              Well, next week same time, same thing. Anyone interested, just drop by.

              Cheers,
              Adnan

                      Hey Sherchoo,

                      Long time no see. Hope your launch blade is holding up well now. Yeah let's catch up next week.

                      Also, during the next DLG funfly, I am thinking that we can have a mini contest. Something simple. The task is as follows:

                      Task: 1 x 10 (10 minute working time)
                      Description: Flyers are to get 10 one minute flights in 10 minutes. Flights under one minute are not deemed valid flights. The task can be done anytime during the funfly, just need a scoring sheet.
                      Logistics: 1 flyer, 1 caller/timer, a DLG timer on Android/iphone and/or 2 x stopwatches (stopwatches I have)

                      This is just an informal contest, like almost all of them that we had so far. No need to be ultra competitive. It's mostly for a good time. Also this task is meant to hone quick turnaround (landing and launching) skills and sharper air reading skills. On the day itself, I can give a more detailed briefing and share strategies. I'll rustle up a small gift for the winner.

                      So come down and join the fun. It's a great way to share knowledge and maybe also learn something new.

                      Cheers,
                      Adnan
