Windguru 預測本星期日為大南風.
比賽地點為飛鵝山扎山道二樓. 據肥輝說該位置現時的草已比較厚, 降落應沒大問題,只是空間較迫.
若到時風向轉為西南, 可改為飛鵝山頂西南位平台上之位置,但要考慮的是Flying track 可能在平台機友及馬路之上.

紅花嶺之西南位未開拓, 加上亞蘇今次缺席, 沒有shelter的支援.
此外早上大霧及大雨後是否封路等亦要留意.
由於飛鵝山的手机訊号弱, 請大家用短訊及帶備對講機, 設定Channel 18-1.
Good luck!

飛鵝山扎山道二樓南位降落有一定危險,但風力和升力就一定好!
紅花嶺有車到,南、西南風都得,走位較容易,但就未試過飛F3F,個場可不可以還是未知之素。由於近來雨水多,又無好的南風去試試個場,所以我都覺得今次在飛鵝山搞比賽較為適合,但一定要做好撞頻的安排與西南位上的飛友好好溝通!加上今次可能有零散雨,飛鵝山頂無得避雨,亦可能有霧,大家都要有心理準備!

阿邦,你今次會唔會出隻最新研發的犀利士出賽呀?我同你一齊拍跳雙雙拿冠、亞軍和速男呢!

星期日在飛鵝山西南位飛F3F會有問題。即使不考慮安全問題,飛機在遊人頭頂飛過時的聲音,會給人一種可怕感。 同樣的聲音,在頭頂出現,與在前方出現,效果完全不同。
若真的沒有其它場地,可考慮在平台位飛F3F。相反其他機友改在二樓或近涼亭位置飛。但一定要預早通知那些星期日才出現的機友。

天氣預告星期日是吹3、4級南風,有陽光但可能有雨,加上高地可能有霧,所以我們應該要細心選擇適合場地比賽,以下是我對各南風場的意見,只供參考,最後都是主審肥輝話事:

飛鵝山扎山道山頂
適合風向:南風
好處:升力好,車到,由停車場步行只需5分鐘
壞處:高地可能有霧,下雨時返回車或涼亭避雨需時,與其他飛友有撞頻危險

飛鵝山山頂位
適合風向:西南風
好處:車到,飛場就在停車場邊,下雨時返回車或涼亭避雨較方便
壞處:高地可能有霧,與其他飛友有撞頻危險,飛f3f時可能對其他飛友有危險性,與其他飛友爭場,安排上復雜

紅花嶺山頂
適合風向:南、西南風
好處:車到,飛場就在停車場邊,下雨時返回車避雨較方便
壞處:高地可能有霧,新場,升力,降落危險度還是未知之素

紅花嶺北風位後山斜坡
適合風向:南風
好處:低地應無霧,車到,飛場就在停車場不遠,下雨時返回車避雨較方便
壞處:半新場地,DS和一般飛行就OK,但飛F3F的升力還是未知之素,相信不及飛鵝山好

堅媽嶺適合風向:西南風
好處:低地應無霧,車到,飛場就在停車場邊,下雨時返回車避雨較方便
壞處:車路長滿草,難行車,飛F3F的升力不及飛鵝山好


以目前的天氣預測,我個人覺得最佳選擇是紅花嶺北風位後山斜坡
各位飛友你地點睇呀?

探子回報,由於山泥傾瀉飛鵝山道封路,由沙田坳或飛鵝山道上山都不能,明日應該不可以在飛鵝山舉行比賽。所以就算如果明日開始放晴,比賽只可在紅花嶺或堅媽嶺舉行!請各位飛友密切留意事態發展。

肥輝剛剛打電話給我,他說他們幾個工作人員會一早入紅花嶺探察環境然後再會報,早上8時左右會網上登上最新消息,請各位準備你地的飛機,隨時應戰!

Any 探子 information about 紅花嶺 / 堅媽嶺 if 山泥傾瀉 over there :?: The rain storm this morning was really very terrible :!:

We all know that the roads up 紅花嶺 / 堅媽嶺 are both extremely narrow and difficult for vehicles to climb up even in good weather. There were also cases last year that some cars hanged in the middle of the road during rainy days which eventually need towing :!:

It will be big trouble if all our cars move up together without prior inspection of the situation there :idea: Imagine the situation that if the roads up are blocked and we all need switch into "R" gear for down hill :!:

p.s. For 堅媽嶺 there was fire few months ago, not sure if the slope is still full of grass for landing now :idea:

Have to consider with the accessibility to the flying sites. We now have some info sbout FNS. How about KML and HFL? Is vehicle access to these 2 sites still safe as some parts of the route are quite steep, narrow and will be quite slippery for cars to run on and for pilots to retrieve their planes from slope.
Safety first!

I think the road to Kin Ma Leng is too dangerous for ordinary cars, particularily, after heavy rain and it will be too slipery. If we really need to go there, Ah Pong's 4W drive will be needed. I hope we do not need to go there!
The road leads up to Hung Fai Leng is well maintained, so it may be OK, but we better have someone to check it tomorrow morning before others arrive. We should say thank you to those who go there earlier, please take extra care to go up, cheer!

After watching the late night TV news, the rain storm was really casuing damages everywhere :!: Even the road up Robin's nest (HFL) is "well maintained" but there could be possibility small landslide or falling trees may block the road. I think it's really not safe even for someone to go up for checking :!:

Agree to Donny that we should consider cancel the race tomorrow in view of so many unknown :!:

電聯後得知各工作人員正在趕往紅花嶺送中,現已在上水,請各位耐心再等等。
我望出窗外看到今日山上有簿霧,水面有霞氣,但基本上是天晴,風就較弱,如稍後時間陽光普照,熱氣流應該較為往盛,而家最緊要是工作人員回報上山的小路是否無問題! :lol:

今朝早上9時許上到紅花嶺本來是天晴,但隨著下了一場大雨,主審和各工作人員初時認為雨勢會持續,所以宣報暫時落山去嘆茶,待天晴後再作決定,但當各人車隊落到山腳,大雨忽然停了!經大會在山腳停車場緊急開會,決定再次上山準備開賽,但由於有小部份人誤以為賽事已取消而離開了,所以大會決定開賽,但賽果不計入聯賽成積,換句話說是非正適比賽!
一眾機友重上紅花嶺北位後山斜坡,這
