Flair English Electric Lightning PSS - She Flies !!

Here is a short video of my first flight of a very old Flair English Electric Lightning PSS glider from Ditchling Beacon earlier on today. She is basically naked with no covering other than the control surfaces. We wanted to see if she would fly before going to the effort to bring her back to her earlier glory. It flew like a dog but with a bit of TLC it could look like the dogs do-dars!

I'm loading up more video of todays exploits, should be up here soon.
