Thursday saw a brightish start but with a very brisk northerly. The kit was
out and the first launch just before 10:00 with a reduced price launch for Chris
M – his reward for being early. The crosswind made for challenging
conditions with a blue flag flying virtually all day. The wind veered a little
just after lunch as the decaying front passed through so we changed ends and got
better launches but it was still virtually unsoarable – only Pete Stap managed
anything of significance with about 50 minutes, but for most it was a quick up
and a very quick down. With the support of Woolly and Mark C everybody who wanted
to fly did and Liam and Gordon took advantage of the conditions to update
card checks. Work continues on the Eagle and it is finally taking shape.
Many thanks to the workers for getting the Skylaunch back on line.- JSi
