No real prizes for the picture again today. The plan was to get some good air time with the Saker- a model that I have been enjoying for the last few weeks. But after the rain interruption cleared, the Falcon looked to be an easy option to fly and get back to the car quickly if the rain came again. With the few other pilots on the slope today heading home for a warm drink I held out for 10 more minutes. Wow was it worth it.
With the wind good and smooth patches coming as the clouds cleared, the Falcon just ripped the sky up. I've taken to experimenting with having a setting for snap-flap driven quick 'pinging' turns and a setting for the more open turns to carry the high speeds through. Safe to say in less than perfect conditions, the open turns were just so much fun today.
In terms of any practice or specific things to focus on, today was a wash out. But for sheer fun screaming around the sky- it was great!
Now here's a thought, can we have a 100" F3F class?
