A Good Slope Session

Hi Guys

We had some  lovely club flying this afternoon with Solent Heights, and for the guys that came over to the island earlier in the year,  it was the slope on the way up to Stenbury Down on the left hand side facing East.
We could have done with slightly stronger wind as it turned out to be a lot lower than the forecast had suggested, no change there!!!

The wind was also fairly marginal for most of the time and  direction was all over the place,  but all in all we had some good flying, you will see Tony flying his carbon Wing, this wing has been designed and built by himself and is still in the development stage, in stronger winds it is extremely fast as it is such a clean section there or not even any surface control rods or horns showing they are all concealed within the wing, he has made a lovely job of it.

Happy Flying

News from the IW>

Hi Guys
At last I have got my M60 ready to fly, it has surprised me just how much work was in it, I have added a lot of carbon and Glass reinforcement so I am hoping that it should survive some heavy impacts, as you can see from the photos that I have posted, I have finished it in the same colours as my moth, I have found that this colour combination does stand out well.

Myself Bill and Tony now have got set up with some head cameras, so should be posting some video soon of our flying here on the island.

Tony has been flying  his carbon wing of his own design and build, and to say that it is fast is an understatement, should be getting some photos and videos posted soon.



Happy Flying
