Brilliant Session Today at the Beacon . . . 30th Aug 15

Hi All,
We just had one of the best times up on the slope that we've ever had !
We had 10 club members and 1 guest plus 2 others we didn't know.....
Basically from what seemed like it would be a low lift day, the conditions just got better as time went on and by the time we left the hill was working very well.
I arrived at 08:30 with Will, we were met by Jim (a new member). We had the Zagi, a new Traceur, the Spectre and a new Middle Phase... I chucked the Zagi off and after a little bit of trimming, it was flying as good as a Zagi can ! Will's Spectre went well, but his new Traceur was a triumph right from the start - well done Will.... We had to wait for Paul before we tried Jim's new Middle Phase, but it flew very well. Jim also flew the Zagi a few times.

We were then joined by Paul, Tim, Les, Graham U, Roger, David G (non-flyer today) and David T.

Almost everyone flew the Zagi and we all agreed it was worth getting as the club hack model.. however, the wingtips came off, so I've now re-covered them with a new lot of tape ---

Everyone flew one or more of their own models and they all came home in 1 piece. There were so many models I can't remember all of them......

I know we've had some great turnouts in the past  - one time in 2013 we had 15 people together , all doing combat, etc.... , but today, because we're now a club, I was very much heartened to see such a great and loyal turnout from our members - I am most grateful to you all......

Paul will load up some video later - - - - -
