Yesterday (Sat 15th Jun) Paul, John, Tony, Scotty, Robin and I met at 13:30 at Mt Caburn to fly the SW wind. We walked up to the top in sunshine and it felt warm, the wind was increasing, so all promised to be good. By the time we got to the summit there was rain - a lot of rain, but Paul was determined to maiden his Phase 5, so he threw it into the wind. With a bit of elevator trim, it went very well and we were all inspired to fly our own models despite the weather, so John flew his Phase 6, I launched the Ninja, Scotty had his Wildthing, Tony had his too and Robin had his home-made wing.
We were all up in the rain, but it was great fun. Paul then launched his Phase 6 and between us there were always 3 or 4 models in the air at any time and sometimes 6 at once. After 20 minutes things cleared up and Paul re-launched the Phase 5. At one point I saw Tony landing a little bit behind the hill but all was fine, otherwise we all kept our models intact despite the blustery conditions. After about an hour, Scotty decided that he would try out his Blade and it was worth seeing because with Paul's help at times, the Blade flew wonderfully. That's a great model Scotty.
Altogether we had a great session, many thanks to all who came along to join in, very good fun...…
