Hi All,
Today I went to Itford Hill for 08:30, I did put out a shout, but in the end nobody could come. I ended up flying on my own on the WNW facing slope. The wind was strong and gusty, but there wasn't much lift. Mostly from the wind off the hill, but I flew the Stargazer and it was variable to good. At times it lifted way up , but mostly I had to stay near the hill to get any kind of lift. It was also freezing cold in the 20 mph wind, so after 1.5 hours I decided to call it a day.
Here's a picture of my Stargazer resting between flights. I used this opportunity to set up the flapperons properly so as to help me land in the gusty conditions.
Regards
Rob
