I am having trouble loading flights to the XC League. Even flights previously loaded come up with the error "There was a problem submitting the flight The file you supplied cannont be found on the server" The above is copied from the error dialog - complete with spelling mistake! Despite h...

Oh well lucky sods.
Jim Marshall and I waded and hiked up Carrock for about 3pm.
Then bliss - only a fly down - but at least I escaped more of Jim's stories!!!

Very nice photo's indeed Gordie - considering the gloomy light.

Everyone Welcome

Bet you are wondering if there is no end to this thread Spencer! Beware the 'dodgy' Sup'Air buckles. Although my Sup'Air Altix is not one of the batches listed as fitted with faulty buckles I have to double check all clips before take-off. Frequently, at least one has not worked correctly! [b]In my ...

Does the joined flight have a valid digital signature? K-record, whatever it's called? No idea Sergey - this is the flight:- http://www.nhpc.org.uk/nhpc/modules.php?name=leonardo&op=show_flight&flightID=3438 I have also attached the joined up .igc file. The 5020 'stopped' after 12 minutes wi...

It works - thanks for the tip Neil. I have successfully 'joined up' the recordings of a recent 'split' flight on Carrock. Very simple to do - I used Notepad to edit rather than Excel. Now I'm considering joining up all my flights for this year - that should add up to an massive extra 2 OLC points! :...

My Flytec 5020 has stopped mid flight several times. Once during the LCC comp - I could have won by miles otherwise!!! So thanks Misk I will turn off auto record and see if that fixes it. Otherwise, Flytec can have it back - I believe there was a faulty batch. Isn't Competino the European version of...

Well done Dave - very entertaining.
A great dayout plus good flying fun - for some.

Do you do weddings?

Congratulations - extremely well done - very pleased for both of you.

This link is most impressive - if only I could understand all the terms.
Just what is: Bouyancy/Shear Ratio? BL? Sfc? .........

Whatever, I like the look of the pastel colours predicted for Monday so I'll take your word for it and clear my diary.

Forgot to add - thanks to Dave and Tony for being such excellent buddies.

A weird but wonderful day. Completely confused by the weather but nevertheless a very useful experience - especially the +6m/s thermals.

Brian you might want to have a look at the link below Alinco DJ 195 at £99.95 + £6.50 postage I have just bought one. As for the PTT - headset/speakermic etc haven't got a clue what to get. http://www.nevadaradio.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?REFPAGE=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2enevadaradio%2eco%2euk%2facatalog%2...

After mentioning the idea to several club members at Xfell there was no real enthusiasm so I put the idea on the back burner. However I am very willing to give it a go. My house does not overlook the fell. A mate at Bolton (about 10 miles away from Xfell) has agreed to site it in a bedroom but I hav...
