    Hi everyone,

    I just recently moved to Ireland, and into Dublin.
    But i had to bring my RC stuff with me! :)

    I've been wondering where it might be possible to fly, some nice places.
    Has it wasn't possible to bring the all fleet i only got my motor powered wing, a EPP Swift II. So i can go for slopes or just normal parklfyer zones.

    Also, i don't know if it's allowed to fly shockflyers in the parks, i have some. If it was i would bring them here too! :)

    Cheers,

    Nando

    Hi, welcome to Ireland and in particular the models board.

    The best known place in Dublin is probably Phoenix Park, but I'm sure there are a host of others in the area as well.

    When it comes to flying, a bloke here by the name of "Coolwings" is your man...:D

    Browse around here, there are a few "Sticky's" that might be of help also.

    Hi Icewind,
    Welcome in Ireland ! :)

    Well, if you want to fly in slopes, you can join us at the Island Slope Rebels :
    http://www.islandsloperebels.com We fly 100% gliders and electrics.
    See my website and the forum as well in my signature.

    By the Way, I'm French, where do you come from ?

    Fred

    Hello icewind.

    Welcome to Ireland and the models forum. :D

    There is a guide to the "free" places to fly in Ireland here:
    List of Upland and Slope Soaring Flying Sites

    There is a list of clubs at www.maci.ie

    I would not recommend flying in parks and public areas. You will have no insurance cover, and people in Ireland go to court quickly if damage is done.

    T-Maxx, thanks. I'll look around for more info.

    loopingfred i'm from Portugal.
    Back there from time to time i used to fly on a slope, not that i'm an expert on that! :) And i left there a new plane just for that, a T1000. A epp plane from a german site. I might post some photos later. I was already registered there but under another name

    coolwings, thanks. I'm registered in a club and insured in Portugal but i don't think it extends to foreign countries. So i might join a club around here.
    I'll look over at those links to find some spots.
