Hi Angus,

good luck.
let me know how you get on.

Your right Brian, it’s not available for an iphone. Personally I don’t think its too important that we all use the same system but if I happened to be looking for someone I think it would be good to know where to look, so to speak, hence the sticky at the top of the flying today page. – I’m hoping t...

I think the take off technique with the rope is particularly impressive. The dog seemed to like it too. Great vid.

yes you can switch it off or just leave your phone at home, forget to charge it up, leave it in the car when you go flying, drop it in a bucket of water or down the loo.

I’ve recently set up live tracking on my android mobile phone. There’s sticky page in the “flying today” section with a link to my tracking page. It seems to work quite well and I think it could be really useful if more people were using it, we’d be able to see who’s out flying and where they are, a...

That seems fair to me.
If we are all on the same flight I think 3 kango type cars would be ok between all of us.
Are we all on the same flight?
Chris

I've booked two static caravans, good for about six in total.
Off to the beach now.
Cheers
Chris

I was waiting by the pool with me ipad last night, I filled in the reg as soon as it opened and wAs no 59. Looking forward to the comp, should be a cracking week. will catch up re caravans when I get back but I have booking confirmed.

Best wishes for 2014 John, I'm sure there will be plenty to get exited about when the time comes. Hope we get a few more days like the one in your photo, and with a bit of luck I'll get to fly a bit further myself next time. I think the hill is Hownam, pilot is Lloyd, who flew the furthest? definite...

Happy Christmas Ron and all members and fellow pilots, here's hoping for some good flying in 2014.
Cheers
Chris

I really enjoyed the night and was very surprised to get an a ward and some hot dogs. Many thanks to Bill and everyone who made the night such a success.
cheers

mushrooms
turkey
chocolate brownie or if I cant have that i'll just have curry

yup, just me.

Aye, good night, wish i'd bought the toaster, I could just fancy some.

these are a few years old now but I think most will still be relevant.

I'd like to get AP but am in the same boat as Bill, does anyone know of a course where you can just do the stall, spin and decent bits, I don't particularly want to do a full siv.

On gary's point - i'm sure I read somewhere you only need pilot raiting now to do the british championships.

There has been some really positive discussions on task setting for the club comp with different ideas put forward and the thinking behind these explained, I think this can only help to get people motivated and taking part in the comp. One possible solution to the issue of setting a task to suit the...

Hi Ron
have a look at this for downloading waypoints.

Hi Kyle.
I’m hopeful it will be a brighter day tomorrow, forecast at present suggests east hill may be flyable, I will check again in the morning and probably leave Morpeth around 1.00pm if it looks on. Its aprox a 30 min drive from here.
Give me a call if you want to hook up.

GPS usage, if managed properly, can take the stress out a comp task. Yup, totally agree. I’ve found through experience that I need to do as much as possible on the ground to reduce the workload when flying a task. Being properly prepared also helps me as I try to stay calm and focused on how I’m go...

Hi Angus, download the latest version of gpsdump form the link below. This will allow you to download tracklogs from your etrex, you can then upload these to the xc league and see where you've been. If you get stuck give me a call and i'll talk you throught the process. chris http://www.gethome.no/s...

If anyone wants to download waypoints to their gps from the link given above by John - Using skytraxx, click on the “save .wpt” link, accept the download then copy the file to the waypoints folder on the gps. Flytec etc use .gpx files to transfer waypoints. You can download Cross_Fell_Club_Comp.gpx ...

How about posting these flights in the "Cheviot Challenge"-
