Looking Back - Day 2

We seem to get a great number of visitors sharing some old memories yesterday, so I have decided to continue with what I hope will be a daily post well that is until you guys get fed up with it!!

So we continue our look back to 2013 and we are flying foamies up at Itford Hill with it gusting 51mph. You can hear the wind howling but the lift is just mega.
Watch In HD for best viewing 
It looks like it was Rob S, Jack, David and me with two Ninja's and a Fusion. The Ninja's doing far better in the very windy conditions.

Moving onto November 2013 with Jack's SAS Wildthing flying at Wolstonbury in the snow. Boy I can still remember how cold that day was. Landing in thick snow and the model just disappearing under the white fluffy stuff. Jack was an good glider pilot but an excellent power pilot being able to undertake the most amazing aerobatics with his 50cc monster RC Plane.
Where to next?
How about Firle Beacon!
Here we are playing 'how low can you go' with the Fusions and Wildthing. Firle is a great site in a Northerly wind and the stronger the better to avoid the Paragliders. Loads of room behind for an easy approach and landing (hopefully).
