A Good Slope Session
Hi Guys We had some lovely club flying this afternoon with Solent Heights, and for the guys that came over to the island earlier in the year, it was the slope on the way up to Stenbury Down on the left hand side facing East. We could have done with slightly stronger wind as it turned out to be a lot lower than the forecast had suggested, no change there!!!
The wind was also fairly marginal for most of the time and direction was all over the place, but all in all we had some good flying, you will see Tony flying his carbon Wing, this wing has been designed and built by himself and is still in the development stage, in stronger winds it is extremely fast as it is such a clean section there or not even any surface control rods or horns showing they are all concealed within the wing, he has made a lovely job of it. Happy Flying Chris
Greta Video Chris. Especially like Tony's flying wing. Tell him he needs to go into production and sell them. We are hoping to pop over for a day if we can find a half reasonable day between now and Christmas. Thanks for posting and look forward to seeing you all again soon. Paul
