Default 3D in UK/Scotland/Eire ?

Well I'm currently searching for a local field to use.. Not sure if anything will come of it as the good fields are mostly in use currently.

I can use my club field I think but that would mean we could only have a 1 day event - ideally two would be nice.

It would probably be in July sometime... August perhaps...

Another problem Davey: If we use my club field I don't think you'll be allowed to fly your big Extra as the noise will create too much interest from the farmer - weight limits may have to be implied too dependant on if I can get a field for own use, or have to use the club comittee.

I am in another club, home to some of the UKs top pattern fliers, and it might be possible to use that field aswell .. it would certainly be far better for 3D... though permission is less likely.

I'm only thinking all this out of the idea that the UK needs an exclusive 3D fly-in.. We certainly have the interest, but I understand that North Wales is far for many people (but those coming from Ireland can get off the boat about 10 mins from the field at Mostyn dock... i think from Dublin or Dun Laighoaire(cant spell it sorry!!) Unfortunately i'm too young to drive and wouldnt want to miss such an event, so theres another reason for me wanting it in North Wales!!

I'll be flying the RCM&E Freestyle next year.. hopefully with a funtana, if not my/a Hype 3D (see the other post of mine).

For the UK pattern lads... the GBRCAA round 1 is usually at one of my club fields.. Maybe i'll be good enough at pattern by then too!

Lets hope the opportunity arises and such event goes ahead!
