Hi All,
This morning I picked up Andrew and we headed to a deserted Mill Hill for 09:30.
The wind was straight on the hill and gusting at about 25 mph.
We launched Andrew's Zagi and then he was away for about 1.5 hours with the occasional landing and short breaks , otherwise he flew solidly.... definitely his longest and by far, most successful session with loops, rolls, and a good number of landings. Well done Andrew...
I had my Moth which I also flew for quite a long time, with only 1 occasion where I hit the Zagi , but it was not intentional.
By about 10:00 we were joined by Scott with his Wildthing and Les with the Cliffwacker, Jet Provost and Middle Phase...
The Wild thing was great, as they are, and Scott was carving up the sky doing all sorts of manoeuvres...
Les tried the Cliffwacker first which needed a bit of weight adjustment, then it flew well, the Jet Provost behaved much as usual - short flight followed by hard landing - not Les' fault, that model just WON'T behave.... Finally Les resorted to the Middle Phase which was of course pretty good.
At 11:00 we had all had enough, so we came home...
A very enjoyable session
No pics or vid - sorry Rob
