Hann__ Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Looks like you`re well wrapped-up there! It`ll be our turn down here in the south all weekend - the forecast is for high pressure, low/no wind and enough sun for 16/17 degrees - it`s gonna` be epic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TO in complete nil wind and cam back in 8 mph bumpy air - very weird for Davidstow, and the wind was coming from the coast!! Better tomorrow we hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hann__ Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I plan on getting to the field early - about 11 - taking off for my first flight at 12, land about 2:30 - 3, have a warm-up then have another cheeky 1-2 hour bimble before dusk. Hopefully the air will be smooth and any thermals will be weak. If it doesn`t go to plan i`ll have a snooze in the sun and take off later!

Hann__ Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) ...and Lo! There was flight, and my body was released from the grip of the firmament By an almighty and irrepressible force And i was able to soar, and i saw, many a wondrous vista that was laid out before me My gaze resting upon the earth as if from the heavens Verily, i transcended to a higher state of being, alive, and in realization of what achievement this is And then, it was to be, as it can only be, to the terra-firma once more reunited And on this occasion thusly, not once but twice: genuflect, with limbs out-stretched Because i fecked up me landings and fell over - no fluffed landings for nearly 2 years then two in one day! Bugger.. Edited October 22, 2018 by Hann__ i edited it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 Lol. I haven't failed a forward launch for 35 flights now........famous last words! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hann__ Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I spent two hours above the clouds this afternoon and it was awesome - bright and sunny, warm, and mega-smooth air at 3000`+. Below the fluffy stuff though was a different matter - lumpy, cold, grey and moody. I`ve noticed that phenomenon twice on recent flights - warmer at higher altitudes than lower down - noticeably so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
