New slopedogs day out.

 This winter has felt like one of the good days falling mid week. Saturday had an almost perfect forecast for Mickie's. It seemed like a great opportunity to take the new slope dog out. She's only 4 months so a slope with less traffic and fewer dogs felt good. It did mean the Saker didn't fit in the car but the Wyverns just about did.

  After 4 hours in 15-30 mph winds and clearing skies I had the broadest smile I've had for a good while. If I could control my elevator thumb this well when there's a course I'd be doing much better at comps.

  It was fun to play with ballast levels and opening up turns while keeping the snapflap settings the same. The speed difference is very noticeable.  I've always pulled the wyvern quite hard around the corners but EM carving turns are proving responsive.

 I've noticed a difference between different models using different servos. The CHA servo fitted newer Wyvern does feel to have a step in performance. Carrying energy really nicely.

  Sunday and I found myself ballasting up the Wyvern again. With the wind now 45mph+ I was really aware to keep the speed up. The 'EM' setting from Saturday worked a treat!

It's not often I get 2 days flying in a weekend and it had me smiling more than I have for a good while.

A cold cold morning.

 Sometimes you just 'need' to get out flying. So as the fog cleared on a light northerly slope dog and I were launching the wyvern off.

  Testament that it doesn't have to be perfect conditions to enjoy your flying.

  The compared with the kingmax servos I have been using the wing with CHAservos  feels like it needs perhaps 20% less throw for things like snapflap. Perhaps less blow back than the kingmax servos?

 A cold but good time had!
