It was a funny old day at Itford with some seriously turbulent conditions to contend with. Not to be deterbed, a number of us (Scotty, Mark, Ian and I) met up and were kept company by a fellow slope soarer who'd driven down from London.
After some foamie fun, including several failed attempts to fly the wildthings under a DIY limbo gate, and a few flights by Ian with the Europhia, he unveiled the Jart for its first flight.
Here's a video of the successful maiden.
I managed to get a good session in with the Ascot as the weather got increasingly menacing. It was as if someone flicked the turbulence to 'high rates' as soon as I launched - much to the amusement of all the others who had all evacuated the airspace by that point!
Anyway, a thrilling experience followed by another landing masterclass by Ian. Fantastic morning all-in-all!
