It’s been a long time since I came away from a race so happy. Getting back to racing after so many years and with a hardly tested new design was a recipe for thigs to go wrong and they did. As the rounds went by and the set up of the Harrier started to get sorted, then the ballast- I started cutting! Having said this I flew every round with a huge smile on my face. It’s just a fun model to fly!
I was surprised just
how well the Harrier penetrated into the crosswinds, although I managed to mess
up more turns than I got right, she felt well balanced and despite my harsh
treatment the Harrier never bit back and was accelerating along the straights. Lots of work to do for me to stop holding the
Harrier back but I’m really looking forward to it.
The race was really
well run by the Whitesheet club did a great job of keeping things going at a good
pace, well done Graeme on running a really smooth day.
The quality of
flying was noticeable by how each pilot there could make good used of any god
air that they did get. John Philips
proved to best on the day- congratulations to him.
The highlight of the
day was to meet up with some old friends- a good day out!
