norbertflyer Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Any decent height gain Jock? It looked a bit south all day until late on. Who was the tree hugger? Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbertflyer Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Had a late flight from 430pm. Headwind was quite significant at 25kph towards the SSE at 1100asl. Balloon was out with a basket full. Didn't realise how big the hole was to deflate the envelope. Wind was ENE on landing just before dusk.

norbertflyer Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 1,600ft is excellent at CM. I've never had more than 400ft, but never flown it in thermic conditions, I've always used KS if thermic. I'm on the deck today, but see what Saturday brings. Richard.

norbertflyer Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Be careful on that END wing, I understand it's a B'stard to exit B-lines and spirals. I'll stick to my safe 19A, 4B, 1C..... Richard. PS - will be out somewhere tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
