Results after league 3 and 5:

由於多了5kg ballast, 今年的月賽恐怕難以全身出席, 或遲到早退, 請問那位可以接替我的岡位?

細楊

My attendence is 50:50 due that coming Sunday is Father's day Just "know" that

So not sure can act for Ah Yeung's role

Father day should be a free day for all fathers! You both should come and enjoy a day of freedom. Bring your kids if they wish their fathers to be happy guys on the slope. See you there, Cheers!

By the way, look like we will have southwesterly wind this Sunday, the Fei Ngo Shan site at Jat's Inline Peak may not be suitable as the wind is too westerly. Should we try the Robin's Nest mountain top on the left side of the car parking space? I and Ko Lo Wai did try that spot last time when we have very weak southwesterly wind last year. The track seems very striaght with over 120m long, although the landing may be more difficult as compared to Ma On Shan, but perhaps better still than Fei Ngo Shan.

Another possibility is the Kin Ma Ling, the wind would be perfectly normal to the slope and under hot sun, the lift there may be fantastically good. However, the access road may be very hectic and dangerous now.

Any other idea?

I am father I am also the son of my father ah

各位飛友和主審，
星期日似乎是吹南至西南風，我地會去那裡比賽呀？

羅華剛打電給我話有興趣出來參觀我地比賽，聚聚舊吹下水喎，佢話剛剛做完頭部整形手術，非常之成功，現在好想出黎見下班friends。
由於他行動還不太方便，我想如果上飛鵝山扎山道山頂對他就非常困難，不如我地都係去紅花嶺山頂停車位比賽就就佢啦！各位有何意見？

星期早上我會在馬鞍山接埋佢出黎，由於可能有少雨或烈日，阿蘇，你可唔可以帶埋個帳蓬出黎，以防曬防雨，始終剛做完手術身體較虛弱，希望佢可以較安全地出黎散散心，謝謝！

紅花嶺都好方便呀
現任爸爸帶同未來嘅爸爸，加上爸爸嘅爸爸、都一樣咁方便

只希望唔好落雨啦

星期日要開工

CM 做勿星期日都要開工！

你轉左行做服務業呀？

熱帶颱風蓮花殺到埋來！星期日預測風向已經轉了西北，唉！可能今次比賽又要告吹啦！


這個風預計星期日在香港和台灣之間穿過，如果它走近台灣，香港飛友就有得比賽，但如果它走近香港，台灣飛友就有得比賽，香港跟台灣要鬥法啦！

Hi guys,
is there any update on whether the 6th race will be held on the 21st June and location ?
regards, Steve

Hi Steve, thanks for expressing yor interest I think the contest director will annouce the arrangement later this evening

Meanwhile, you may obseve the 7-days weather forecast

http://www.hko.gov.hk/wxinfo/currwx/fnd.htm

which predicting "Mainly cloudy with a few showers and isolated thunderstorms; West force 3 to 4" while I am posting this message"

Hi Wing,

Windguru forecast Western to South-western, 6-7 ms in the afternoon. Seems that we still get a chance.

Let's pray for good wind lol

On behalf of the CD, we'll conclude tomorrow by 7am on whether to proceed with the contect.
代CD幫傳,明早七時後,泱定是否比賽和地點.

Look like we will have 6 m/s southwesterly wind after 12pm.

To decide in early morning at 7:00am may be meaningless as the wind may not pick up at 7am yet.
I would suggest we meet in the car park in the foot hill of Robin's Nest in the morning, say 9:00am, and send one car up to check with the wind before all moving up the mountain top. We can set up the course before 12:00, and when the wind pick up, we can start immediately.

By the way, the flying site in Robin's Nest does have southerly and southwesterly slope, so it should be ok for the contest provided that there is wind.


Since Law Wah is also coming tomorrow, I would suggest that even if the race is cancelled, we would invite all of you to come to have lunch with Law Wah to give all our support to him. He is much happier than before after the operation, so it is the right time we should meet and show our support.

Thanks!

For Robin's nest (HFL), please use this windguru link la

Note: 85573 (link from Stanley) is for Ma On Shan

Stanley,
Can you pick me up?

Yes, sure!

I will pick you up first at 8:20am and then we go to Law Wah's place in Ma On Shan to pick him up.
He will go alone with us, so there is plenty of space in my car. I can put his wheelcar in the car boot and all our planes in one side of the passinger seat. It should be ok.

See you tomorrow!

By the way, for those who haven't been to Robin's Nest before, here is the driving information

Drive from Kowloon and HK Island:

Go to Lion Rock tunnel, then go straight pass Shatin and into the Tolo Highway, go all the way north into Fanling Highway to Fan Ling


Turn left and circle to the right to Jockey Club road. The intersection between Fanling Highway and Jockey Club road is a small exit from the left, there are some left exits nearby, don't exit too early or too late. Please check on this map carefully.
Once on the Jockey Club road turn right on a round about (third exit) to Sha Tau Kok road.


Then go straight all the way to the northeast direction for about 3km. Finally, turn left on to Wo Keng Shan Road, the car park is just on the left side 50m after the turn. Good luck!

I can't go but the gear already transfer to Alex So .In fact not a good wind direction to fly !

Discussed with the CDs & helpers, owing to unstable weather condition, squally thunderstorm and a number of pilots will not be available or have to leave early, the contest is CANCELLED.
因天氣不穩定及有雷暴,部份賽員不能出席或需早退,經CD及助手們商議,決定取消比賽.

各位飛友，

我會帶羅華上飛鵝山一遊，放機散心，跟飛友聚聚舊，大約11時左右出發，飛友有興趣上來跟他打個招乎，可能的話希望可以一齊去食午餐或晚飯，到時見啦！
