A GOOD TURNOUT WAS RECORDED TODAY AND LOTS OF FLYING TOOK PLACE

A total of fifteen pilots came out of lockdown and enjoyed a lovely day's flying at Kirkistown.  Social distancing protocols were in place as was the free hand sanatiser kindly gifted by the Area.

Today saw a variety of models put through their paces including petrol, glow, electric and a jet.

The 'Be Flyer' had his 'naughty' Dauntless along for a trial flight after Mark fitted vortex generators on the wings. 

The Dauntless would tip stall easily at the point of flaring so Mark hoped the VGs would help to tame the bird.  They appeared to have worked.  You can see the small red VGs on the leading edge towards the wing tips.
