Hi all,
As the Met Office were giving a Northerly wind today, we decided to fly at Ditchling Beacon this morning.
I arrived at 8:45 and was met by Les C. We both moved across the road and started flying - I had the Ninja and Les had his Middle Phase.
We were soon joined by Graham U, Scott T, Ian D, Phil R and Bernie J.
We all flew at various times, Les had the Middle Phase and a Wildthing, Graham U had his re-modelled Mijet and large floppy-wing glider (what IS it called Graham ?), I had the Ninja, Scott had his Wildthing, Ian had his Wildthing , Phil had his Wildthing and Spectre and Bernie had a large moulded glider (name has left me for the moment).
All our models flew well in the stronger than expected wind, which also had a little bit of Westerly in it.
Later on, Graham and Ian D flew their Vagabonds.
My Ninja had a stuck servo, so it hit the ground hard but as ever it just bounced, the servo is completely rigid. Everyone else flew very well and the landings were all soft and event free.
Altogether we had a great time and nothing got broken except my servo !
Graham took some pictures and vid, so will upload later . . . . . . . .
Many thanks to everyone who came along today, it was really good to see you all.
Can't wait for the next one . . . . .
Regards
Rob
