peter_6095 Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Yes it does! I had a great flight from Andover on Saturday morning - up to 1700ft wearing shorts, t shirt and no gloves. Doesn't seem like long ago I was flying in 5 layers including down jacket, with fingers freezing despite massive gloves. Caught my first thermal which was fun. Circled around with a huge bird of prey, who didn't seem to mind my presence. Didn't last long though - a bit early in the day - and I had to switch the engine back on. The bird carried on up another 500ft or so, I guess he had a little more experience at riding thermals... Great way to spend part of bank holiday weekend. Shame it looks a bit windy for the next few weeks. Quote
