RC Slope Soaring in Hong Kong

Yes, this site is better in terms of wind speed and thermal activity, but more difficult for landing. We can clear up the fast growing trees on the right-hand side for landing, but it is still too closed to the racing track in base B, so simultaneously racing and landing is still not possible. Anyway, I agree that it will be safer and easier for landing on the right-hand side particularly when the wind is strong.

We had a few crashes yesterday, some are purely accident and some are due to human error.
Kelvin's Demo was crashed after launched, don't cry Kelvin! Check out the video for your memory. Sorry I would say that both the launcher and the pilot himself contributed to the crash, even though it was a bad launch, it seems that the pilot should have sufficient time to correct the path of the plane, but somehow he turned the plane back to the slope instead.

講開又講，今次比賽另我感觸良多，比隻機撞到正都無事，只差幾寸後果就不得設想！
希望大難之後有後愊啦！

我特別多謝CM的冰涼飲品，本來唸住同呀CM講下笑，見佢抄機後無機飛想早走，為了留住佢就叫佢走都得不過要買D凍飲上番黎勞軍，點知佢當真，非但買了凍飲，車上黎，還親自抬上山，仲唔肯收錢，咁好人既未婚男仕，世間少有，我好想介紹個好女仔比佢，CM，再唸唸啦！無論如何我都要說聲多謝，多謝又多謝！各位當時在山上的朋友，你地嘆完罐凍飲有冇說聲多謝？會唔會覺得受之有愧？
希望你地要反醒下，對CM多些尊重，唔好蝦得就蝦啦！

嘩Stanley，夫人又追你交數呀

星期日的比賽，好似生哥話齋，"無乜feel呀"，cut左幾次，最後重失速直插，落去執機又揾唔到條落山路，好辛苦咁係啲荊棘中捐番出來，口乾到呢，唔理得咁多，係車尾拿桶洗車水出來飲一啖 ，嘩，咩玉液瓊漿咪呢啲囉 ，飲得一啖唔爭在飲埋佢勒 . . .

架Extreme爆咗個頭，條尾又掉掉fing，無法，咁上番山坐下吹下水都唔錯啦，上到山無耐輪到我撳鐘，撳撳下竟然有啲眼訓，見架機轉完彎就即該瞌埋眼，等一陣擘番開隻眼，咦隻機又到喎，撳一撳又瞌一瞌，如是者撳下瞌下又撳下 . .. 突然間Angus問我飛唔飛，佢借隻Demo俾我，又好喎，Angus跟着教我用佢部Futaba 10ch，Flight mode 啦，Butterfly 啦，同我部JR差唔多，不過佢啲flight mode好攪嘢，有慢動作嘅，見咁得意撥多幾下 ，撥下撥下又到我飛啦。

好多人都知我好少借人家的飛機飛，因為自己知自己事，炒咗人地隻機就唔好啦，不過今次Demo自己飛過，又唔大風，小心啲飛五個圈應該無事. . . 咁其實，真係出事囉，係度要再同Angus講聲唔好意思，令佢隻Demo又多個窿

睇黎今日不宜飛行，水又飲晒，又食左堅叔幾粒吸水乖乖 ，不如早啲落山補機(訓覺)啦，跟住啊Stanley話不如買啲嘢上來飲啦，為人民服務，義不容辭！兜個圈當行個運，重入美心食埋碗紅當當的叉燒紅腸米先上山，所以當你地見我拿啲水上山時，我早以經係山下食飽飽喇

講番扎山道個site，我記得初玩滑翔機時就係呢度，當時應該係1984年，係高佬偉(當時人稱偉仔，已經係師傅級 )教我飛的，當年扎山道樓上樓下都係極美麗的草坡，跟國外的飛場不遑多讓，依家竟然搞到大樹小樹荊棘周圍都係，其實呢啲草坡千百年來都係咁存在啦，都唔知政府攪佢做乜

有啲舊相(1984)跟大家分享:


圖中係Base A上面，以前扎山道二樓係指呢度。


呢度咪係依家條F3F track囉，啲草靚到 . . .


呢個細路係我


隻機係我自己設計同製造，當年好多人都自己造機，好平常。

嘩！ 科學奇才呀

我呢個年紀嘅時侯，只識得玩(玻子)。
唔係 (Porsche)

重有冇多啲老相 post 黎睇吓呀？



補講返句：多謝 CM 支清涼嘅水。
真係及時雨呀！

唉！好明顯，政府種咁多樹其實對環境和表土流失更加傷害！那些長大的樹木，把陽光隔絕，地表上的青草跟本唔夠陽光生存，使到地面沙石外露，一有大雨就會把沙石

Stanley, 講下笑，唔好介意

另外，班官係知道無陽光啲草會枯死的！昨日睇新聞，漁護署為咗馬鞍山啲杜鵑花唔會因為被大樹遮蔽無陽光而枯死，竟用除草劑毒死啲樹，原文如下

雖然我地放glider都唔鐘意山坡有樹，但大前題係我地唔應該損害大自然，個山有樹就有樹囉，無樹就無樹囉，呢啲都係大自然經千百萬年取得的平衡，硬要斬樹或移種，必無好結果。
大自然本身有很强的自癒能力，只是人類近百多年急速發展破壞了平衡，停止傷害就已經係最好的環保。

嘩阿麥，你唔係中學都仲打波子吓話

重有好多相，遲啲再scan，我啲相係80-90年代，阿Stanley個網啲70年代相重經典喎

I've checked my car and couldn't find any spare poles there. Our (old) poles were hidden in Ma On Shan, so for southerly wind in the summer we will unlikely go back to Ma On Shan for a while. Please, fellow pilots go and check your car looking for the poles.

By the way, I think the landing right on the CD area last week is potentially dangerous. Next time if we have contest in Fei Ngo Shan, we should try to land on the right-hand side after clearing those small trees there. Since it takes time to walk to the landing area, we should use a pipeline policy similar to what we had in Leung King; the pilot who finished the run should walk to the right hand side for landing, but the next pilot to race does't need to wait the previous pilot to land, instead he should launch as soon as possible, then after he finished the run, the previous pilot who has already walked to the landing area can land. I think this will speed up the contest and also much safer.

Should we try this policy next month if we have southerly wind again?

阿麥你上星期日影左好多相，點解唔post出黎睇睇呀？

Ah ! !

I like to take pictures, but don't have as much interest in sorting out the photos

OK, here are some of the happy faces on MOS:

阿麥你發夢都係掛住馬鞍山(MOS)，上星期我地在飛鵝山(FNS)比賽，唔係馬鞍呀！
呢D係咪叫做潛意式馬鞍不捨症！我估好多香港飛友都有同樣問題！

我鐘意呢張照片


睇上去好似二戰時一張經典照片-流黃島攻防戰
一句話就係傷亡慘重！

2009年度F3F聯賽到目前為止只賽了兩場，暫時的排名鎊在此

去年的亞軍阿堅今年開步有D腳軟，希望佢稍後回復水準，後勁凌勵啦！
阿邦又會唔會打破梗頸四的宿命呢？

努力吧！
