The wind was howling from the north-north west giving a very gusty crosswind to handle, no trial lessons could be flown due to the conditions. However once away from the ground , trees and turbulence it was quite soarable. Thanks to Roy for bringing KEK back from High Wycombe, it was rigged and test flown complete with new total energy probe.
The Eagle had several flights, and 230 did find some wave " distinctly low moment when I actually had a field picked
followed by a very slow climb into the wave. 2 areas of very short beats,
difficult to work a consistent line but steady if not spectacular wave – weaker
than a weedy bloke on a Weetabix free diet! Better than those bumpy roundy, roundy things for a change though and as
always really nice when I reached the tops of the clouds – just." - Pete St
We welcome our increasing number of new members (5 today) and it was just as well as there were very few experienced members present.
Thanks to James H and Ian M for completing 50 hour check and some remedial work on the Pawnee. Thanks to Adrian who again was up to his elbows in Disco engines. And a very big thank you to Cheryl for filling the breach and supplying a wonderful selection of cakes.
