Hello from South Wales

 Its been a long while since I have have posted on our wonderful blog but here we go.....

Today I met up with Ian and we went down to Aberavon Beach for some soaring on the dunes. When we arrived the wind was just not playing ball and too soft to soar. Even the Seagulls where flapping. Within the hour the wind was just about enough to keep my Phase 6 airborne.

The video below is Ian flying his scratch built Chris Foss Phase 5. He said he watched Chris Foss fly his Phase 5 prototype over 40 years ago at Mill Hill and said he was going to build pone of them. It has only taken him 40 years plus but Ian has built a beauty and of course it flew wonderfully from the start in Ian's capable hands.
