A lovely sunny day with a brisk Westerly wind but so much better than last Sunday.
We met at 10:00 - there was me, Jim, Rob S, Rob P, Tony, Mark, Russell, and Robin.
There was lots going on today up on the hill apart from our 8 fliers, we were joined by 2 from Newhaven (who decided to fly at the top of the hill) and 2 from Eastbourne - both father and son fliers.
I started with Tim's Bluto which always flies very well and then moved to my Merlow with a camera on (see video)…
Robin started with his little home-design flying wing, then got to maiden his Mefisto glider. I helped him with the launch and the model proved to be very stable in the breezy conditions. Nice and stable flying and great landing flaps to make it an easy landing. It does need some brighter colours on the tips to help against the sky. Did lose it a few times when flying way out from the hill.
Tony was flying his Phase 6 very well and started with his trusty Wildthing. Rob had his Ninja but spent most of the time helping Jim with his 2 models to trim and set them up, continued problems were tracked eventually to the transmitter having a malfunction ! Russell was there enjoying himself, but arrived a fair bit later, so as we left he was only just setting up his models. Mark had his gorilla glued Blaster which always does well. Rob P was flying well with his mouldies (the Erwin and a larger white mouldie). I saw him do a superbly controlled landing right next to himself. We left Mark, Russell and Rob P up on the hill and made our way back home.
