Saturday 9th October at Ditchling Beacon

 It was decided to try Ditchling Beacon on Saturday 9th Oct, but on arrival there was very little wind.

The view was spectacular because there was fog down at the bottom of the hill and only tall trees could be seen poking through the gloom. At the top it was pretty good weather so we tried out our DLGs.

There was Paul H, Rob S, Bill H and Gordon S (who didn't have a model with him).

Rob and Bill tried out Bill's HK DLG which needed  some fine tuning but was flying pretty well.

Rob tried out his Loola and Paul H took the RX to trim it as it hadn't been flown for well over a year, Rob then took it back but after a good few flights it managed to come together with the barbed wire fence and sustained a small dent in the carbon fibre LE.

Paul flew his Fireblade DLG and it flew very well, each flight was longer than the last , Paul was in the air for at least 15 minutes at a time.

After a while Paul went to the car park to get his Sapphire, but just before launching it was discovered that the battery was flat, so it had to go back in the car.

Overall we all had a good morning at the Beacon and although the wind did pick up a little, there was no opportunity to fly any other models which stayed in the cars.
