Soaring Butser Hill, Hampshire.
SWesterly is not the best direction for Butser. Tried the bowl which was very rough and not much lift fortunately electric power assist is permitted. This is the first vid of the Proxima11, showed up the chattering flap servo! Decided to try opposite side of the hill with Orange Thing, which didn`t have so much blow and was smoother, still needed a little assist. Butser Hill works best in a Northerly. It`s been forty years since I entered an MVSA pylon race and was hoping to fly the same Mijet but the conditions were not suitable for the few days I was in the area.
Great videos Graham!
