After soaking up the last warm days of the summer, this weekend it was time for the first rain dodging storm flying of the winter. There's a certain mad pleasure in being on a hill whilst you see different showers rolling in and experience the powerful drafts which blow through.
Launching your model in these conditions can be tricky to physically man handle but also mentally choosing to throw you off into these conditions. The Saker rewarded me with its predictability and when the air came through, pure speed.
A happy if slightly damp pilot and slope dog!
