I am using Goggle Chrome as a browser and like it, auto form filling works great

I tried an Hyperion GS2218 in one of my 3 metre esoarers, this tiny 3 oz motor worked OK but failed to reach 200 metres in 30 secs needed for Esoaring

prop 13 x 6, 3s 1300ma Nanotech

the kv of this motor is 1137, max, the prop load should only take this down to 8000rmp for good motor efficiency

If you will be approaching Hawling on the A436, from an easterly direction ie. from Stow on the Wold.
Please ignore the first two signs (right turns) to 'Hawling' and take the third. "eSoaring" signs will direct you from here.
This will reduce the time you spend in narrow lanes, negotiating the village, and is a quicker and more direct route to the field entrance.

Those approaching from the West ie. from Andoversford traffic lights on the A40 will pick up the "eSoaring" signs at the first Hawling sign/turning on their left.



Please enter this event by posting to this thread, with the following information:

1) Your name
2) Preferred Frequency if on 35Mhz plus alternative, or state 2.4GHz.
3) Class being entered - i.e. OPEN or 2 METRE.
4) If you require the loan of an altimeter switch for the day.

Regards to all, and looking forward to seeing you on the 13th....
