Hi All,
Today myself, Clint and Graham U went to Itford Hill North- facing bowl at 10:00.
The bowl was working really well and we all got loads of lift for our models. Clint flew his Pzazz and M60, Graham flew his Libelle and Vagabond and I flew the Stargazer and Fillip 400.
During the session, the Fillip came a cropper on landing, the lift disappeared and poor old Fillip hit the deck hard. I will repair it with SolarTex next time to make it stronger. The other planes flew really well for 1.5 hours and then the wind shifted to WNW and dropped to almost nothing.
Clint decided to try his luck on the WNW slope, but the Pzazz came a cropper and will also need to be rebuilt. Graham flew his Libelle on that same slope and it was pretty successful. All-in-all a good session with some minor damage.
Graham will be uploading some video shortly . . . . . . . . .
