A falcon weekend

 Dad duty taking Emma to lillieshall kept me from the nationals this weekend. It did give me the chance to sport fly one the mynd for the weekend and a perfect opportunity to fly the Falcon.  

 Having the wyverns to set up for the last few months means I've not flown the falcons.  This is the definition of a first world problem having to choose between 2 models i love to fly.

 I flew on the east slopes of the Mynd, picking up thermals and enjoying the falcon responding to better air. The falcon is the model that reminds me most of my old wizard compacts and had me smiling all day.

  1. Hi Ian.. I have one of your early Willow models for the slope and I still love it. However, I'm looking for a 2.5 - 3.0m f3j model and have seen your Falcon for sale at Flightech. Do you have a spec for its wing loading / area / flying weight and would it be described as a thermal soarer or more a sloper?
