my ybs are now flying 55 minutes, ranging accross the sky very high up.......very pleased so far but am a bit worried this will stop when i add another 24 ybs to the section in about 3 weeks,

Subject: Re: y/bs ranging Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:15 pm

your way ahead of me david thats mine just going in to bunches now flying about the sky still 20 odd to put in to the 34 we have so we should have a team of 50 or 55 this year great news for you david hope they do you proud Wink

Subject: Re: y/bs ranging Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:22 pm

thanks john, to be honest i dont know what ive done different from last year when they wouldnt fly at all.........this year they just seem to have took up early and bunched more or less straight away, so its not good management down to me or anything ive done........ scratch

but cant complain...... lol!

Subject: Re: y/bs ranging Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:24 pm

well what ever your doing david keep doing it as its working mate for sure they will be fit for race day for sure Wink

Subject: Re: y/bs ranging Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:29 pm

thats the thing john, last year i was behind getting them flying/training so missed the early newarks so it was hard to jump them in...........hopefully this year i`ll be on track to get the first two races in then i can maybe compete in the full yb program........

Subject: Re: y/bs ranging Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:33 pm

yes you will be ready to rock and roll this year david will be looking for your name this year in the results david first club second club it will come soon enough david really hope they do well for you Wink

Subject: Re: y/bs ranging Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:43 pm

theres a couple of top flyers in my club john, they win every race between them every week...............no one gets a look in at the moment so i`ll be happy to throw a spanner in the works now and then if possible........ lol!

Subject: Re: y/bs ranging Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:46 pm

yes i see what your saying david but with the young birds its anyones race well the short races are like whacky races when you see the birds coming back anyone can snip right in there by a second you know what i mean its allways nice to rattle a few flyers when you start Wink

a bit of luck allways helps as well

Subject: Re: y/bs ranging Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:52 pm

yes, hopefully we will be on an even playing field with the ybs..........and as you say anything can come in the ybs races in the short ones, im not expecting to tear the road up but if i can just get up there now and then or take a few cards in my first year it will give me something to work on and try to do better the year after.........
