Landing Briefing Notes

Sunday, 6 December 2015

Saturday at Mill Hill

Hi All,
Andrew and I arrived at Mill Hill at 9:15 where we were greeted by a herd of 'Dexter' cows in the road and all around the flying area, plus a very strong wind of at least 30 mph maybe gusting to 40 mph.
Andrew's wife , Claire, also came along with their Doberman 'Dexter' and went off for a long walk with him.
We tried Andrew's Zagi, but it flew backwards towards the cows, we landed it and swapped to the Ninja which flew very well in the blustery conditions.
After a short flight we decided to wait for Paul and Steve to arrive before carrying on.
When Paul and Steve arrived at 9:45 they launched the M60 and Steve's Polecat which both flew extremely well and they were racing around the sky. Both models needed ballast really to get the best, but they still pushed on through the strong winds and proved more than capable given the conditions.
Meantime, I got distracted by the cows which had blocked the car park entrance, so I had coax them into a safer place.
After that I was playing games with Dexter (the dog , not the cows !!), throwing his Frisbee and trying to get it back from him.
