A Lidl fun at Butts Brow!

I arrived a little late and was met in the carpark by Robin.  We took the 5 minute walk to where Mark and Tony were already flying along with 4 others.  It was an hours drive for Tony, there is dedication for you!

I had my Komet and repaired Mamba, Tony had his Wildthing, Mark had his newly built Lidl glider and another glider and Robin also had his newly built Lidl glider and his home built wing.

Everyone had a very good session and the conditions were good with a nice 12+ mph with a fairly smooth easterly.  Mark and Robin’s Lidl glider conversions flew very well with a small amount of ballast, well done to them.  Tony and I had fun chasing around the sky and practicing our landings.  At one point there were 8 models flying which certainly does mean that you have to concentrate a bit more.

Everyone went home without any damage to their models however at one point we were all looking for a phantom missing glider and it turned out that we were looking for Marks Lidl glider which he had and he thought we were looking for Robin’s Lidl glider!!
