A Lidl bit of fun at Itford Hill

Yet another great flying session on Saturday up on Itford Hill with Ian, Scott and Robin.
Ian's Jedi looking out towards Mount Caburn
Not the best of lift but at times thermals came through and boosted the lift. The real star of the session was Robin and his Lidl free flight glider that he converted to a RC model.
'Robin Lidl'
No joke this £7.99 glider got up to about 500' point it into wind and haul back on the stick and up it went. Robin was enjoying himself with the Lidl glider and his Alula. From now on he will be known as Robin Lidl...…..
Scott got to fly his nice new X Models Blade. I tried in the very light lift and just about to stay up but with the occasional incipient spin. Later Ian and Scott flew the blade and Scott enjoyed some decent height and stick time.
Robin and Scott flew my Ascott at height. So high actually it was getting difficult to see the model. I think this was wave off the hill in front of us.
Then it was off to the pub for Harveys and Chips.
