Late afternoon Thermal
I met up with Graham at the field who had been flying for a while with his electric thermal soarers. I only had brought along my DLG's. The Libelle and my Super Topsky 2 Disser DLG gliders. I have read that if you want to fly DLG gliders you just need perseverance. After about an hour of bloody perseverance, I finally found myself a small thermal for the Longshot to climb up in.
Here is a very boring video of a DLG flying into the sun and going round and around - Sorry but that's all it is!!!
