Maiden Flight of the Hacker Vagabond at Newhaven Fort

Rob, Clint, Graham and I met up at the Newhaven Fort car park at 10.00 today for some RC sloping off the Cliffs. Its an easy walk up the hill to the most beautiful views over Newhaven Harbour and beach.

With very little wind and very little lift I maidened my new Hacker Vagabond. No fancy flying just focus on keeping it above the cliff top. It flew well in the light lift and as the wind increased so did the lift and soon Rob was up with his Stargazer and Clint with his Pzazz and then we were joined by Graham and his Hacker Vagabon glider.

The wind continued to get stronger and then I moved onto the M60 and Rob onto his Ninja and Clint onto his M60 and Wildthing.

 



The sky was buzzing with gliders and also two Paragliders. One of them went off to Brighton and back and then landed right beside us. We also watched two right wallys leap off the cliff edge in what looked like a bed sheet on strings. What a pair of plonkers ! What some people do for an adrenaline buzz. Even the experienced Paraglider guy said they were mad. All in all a good morning's flying. Thanks guys I thoroughly enjoyed the flying and the company.
