Early morning test flights with the Dream-Flight Libelle.
I was up early and wandered up our local park with my brand new Dream-Flight Libelle. Hardly a breath of wind and with dew on the grass I gave it a gentle throw forward for its first test glide. Just one click of up trim and she was away on a long straight glide. With a gentle rotation and firm fling she was away on her first proper DLG launch. This beauty can glide. Every time managed to fly her back into my hand and with each launch putting a little more effort in. There was no lift as it was early and still but bring on the thermals as this baby will soar like a buzzard.
OK this isn't me flying I admit it! but what a place to be able to fly from. Lovely video.
