Landing Briefing Notes

Flying at the strip

Decided to go and show my face at the local model flying club that I am a member off. Here is a video of me flying my old Parkzone Habu EDF Jet (sorry, I don't have many power models left now but this one is fun and does glide well, so sort of counts as a motor glider).
I then spent half an hour lobbing my Dream Flight Libelle up into the sky. Loads of launches but no real thermals. The sea air had already come in but some reasonable extended flights of a few minutes now an again. Then I flew my Seagull Ka8B which was a glider that had been converted to powered glider (by Tim). Here we see a 30 second power up and then a bit of a up and down glide to earth which ended up in a reasonable (ish) landing.
