norbertflyer Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Went past Powick today to have a look at the grass. More than knee height, so will have to wait for it to be cut before we can fly there. Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norbertflyer Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Powered only recently. No chance of me walking up the Malverns with my kit - knees are completely shot. I can't launch in nil wind any more with the engine. Enjoying the thermals on the motor though, but travelling any serious distance is always thwarted by the drag of the cage, compared with a PG setup.
