Mayday mayday - summer's coming
... well,spring anyway; it's mayday. So called because summer doesn't come in smoothly, but springs to and fro between extremes. Today we had a cracking good day, with climbs to over 5000ft and most flights of extended duration, over three hours in at least one case. The best Paul McG found on his check flight was 4kt ... sink, but then made up for it by getting his two hours :) ...sadly, it's no longer a badge requirement :( , but well done anyway.

Paul McG completed his check flight in the same time as some cable breaks. The difference was that this was from a 1,400' launch with no spins, stalls or aerobatics to hasten the return to Mother Earth. Just some solid 6 down occasionally tempered by some 4 down and the inevitable bleep from the vario on turn onto finals (and a quietly smirking instructor in the back seat).
ReplyDeleteOver 19 hours flown off 28 launches by 18 folks. Pretty good for a completely blue day
