Any one got a good name for a gaggle off Ninja's?
Phil brought up with him a good selection of gliders and most notable was his beautiful Delta Lady which flew lovely and stable. also Phil maidened his very nicely covered Ninja (bottom glider in the gaggle photo above). Below you will see a little video of Phil's new models flying.
A welcome return to the 'King of Combat', Jack. He came up for a hour or so and continued to try and knock me out of the sky and succeeded on more than one occasion, my Ninja still has the battle scars to prove it.. Then Rob joined in and we had three Ninjas tanking up and down just feet above the hill side. Then there were four!
Four Ninja's (Tim's, Rob's, Jack's and Phil's) all buzzing Graham who stood there and took the video of the Ninjas in full flight. Brave boy Graham!
We were buzzed by the full size gliders getting lower and lower but also getting quicker and quicker. If you are Interested in what gliders they were and how far they flew, here's a link to the BGA Daily Scores site. Its gives the details of most of the glider X country flights within the UK.
A big welcome to Graham who we met just as we were packing up as he turned up after reading the blog. Hopefully we will get an opportunity to fly together Graham soon.
John buddied up with Graham for some Fusion flying and Graham also tried out my Ninja and did very well. Come on Graham get your finger out and finish building your Ninja!
One last video of Phil and his new Ninja breaking some sort of speed record. Phil climbs to a good height then dives to get some serious speed on then does a fly pass but manages to keep the wings on - Just!
I know there are a group of guys going back up to Ditchling Beacon to fly tomorrow morning, if anyone wants to join them? 9.30am up at the Beacon car park.
