The Saker cleans up across Europe!

   Today was meant to be a considered pause after a great weekend at the HoH.  I will do that justice soon but today looks to have been the day that all the league results are in for the UK and also the Eurotour.


John and his Saker has swept the board-.

  The British League climaxed this weekend, with JP edging out Mark Redsell in the final race.  For me a great summer in a range of conditions and slopes that has shown the Saker's versatility over the months.


The EuroTour- also a win for JP and the Saker.


Not sure what to say, it's been an education to see JP fly the Saker this year.  Practicing, setting up and learning the model.  


I can't think of better evidence of the Saker's quality and performance than such a dominant year's results.

Final weekend of the season

 I've made the trip up to the Hole of Horcum for the climax of the summer season. After races the top 2 pilots are separated by fewer than 5 points so even when my thumbs put the brakes on it should be a great contest to witness. 



 Its been over 10 years since my last flying visit here, that's been too long.  Simply a great place to spend a Saturday and even better when There's the company of other pilots. Ignore the sat NAV distance and the early morning - today feels worth it before the race.
