Horsham F5J
Yester day saw the first F5J, electric thermal gliders, comp of the year at the Horsham field. The inistial 100% cloud cover and chilly north wind made it a bit tricky but all slots saw several pilots do the full 10 mins. As the day progressed the wind droped and the sun came out for tee shirt weather by the end. 6 rounds where flown and we finished at around 5:00 oclock. I new somthing was up when Colin insisted he wanted to give the prices out, top 5 + a 2m prices, I won!!
First time for a while and with my new home made Proglide model.😃
Well done Kevin, was there ever any doubt ?
