Guest Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 All, I got to the field today at 0915 and was in the air by 0930. I forward launch in very light to nil wind. Almost as soon as my feet left the ground I knew I was going to empty my tank! Trimmers all the way out, and away we go........... The air was so silky smooth with a gentle 5-6mph head wind. I did the entire flight without using my hands. I decided to go to the mast, (about 10km from take off) and then indirectly to Hungerford (another 12km) Then Newbury, (another 15km) before heading home as the crow flies, = 67km flight with no brake or tip input. (except for take off and landing of course) The flight back was awesome as the wind picked up just in time for my return flight A very much needed 2 hour flight, I am now 100% in the fix department!

dantheman Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I drove up to Milton Keynes today and was drooling out of the window all the way, plus the sunset was lovely, roll on summer (roll on less work) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
