I'm not sure if the melting snow is the right metaphor but this week feels like the end of the winter. A short notice session had me thrashing my Falcons around the sky with a huge smile on my face- even if I was shivering.
A winter that feels like I have had more flying than I have managed in years has been very short of races, this was emphasised by the cancellation of the final Midlands winter league of the winter. Trying to run a winter league is by no means an easy thing to do. My Own Local slope at Whitesheet managed 1 race and on the only other day we gathered there was no wind, whilst on 2 days that were cancelled I was flying on the slopes.
Here's hoping that the Champ of Champs gets some luck to make up for some of the lack of racing. I can feel my dad taxi duties building for the summer already!
I've been flying a combination of my Sakers and Falcons through the winter and simply having fun. I am enjoying flying these models more and more. Not having a sheet of settings has been a good chance to try different things and approaches- and most of them can work if you get the right air and fly the attempted style well. I have been using the CG further forwards with more elevator and delayed snap flap in bigger air to what feels like good effect- enjoy flying them, fly them more, fly them better- this flying business is easy:-)
