David got airborne but unfortunately the wind got the better of him and he ended up in the field behind and got a stern telling off by the farmers wife. Lucky David.

Must be Mad!!
This morning we ventured out in a gale to Mill Hill. What a pain the entrance / exit of the car park is now! Rob, Jack, Dave Wilson and our new friend Tyrone went down to the hollow at Mill hill. The wind meter maxed out at 50.8mph and it was rough as hell with a minus 1 wind chill factor. I took some HD video with the Contour Roam camera but the Ninja was getting so battered that the film is all over the place. However here is a little video showing how windy it was and how difficult it was to launch let alone the landing!
A warm welcome to Tyrone. A very nice guy we met who had brought along his new SAS Fusion for its maiden flight. Not the best day for a maiden but control throw issues meant a flight was possible.
