Another Saturday afternoon thrash with the Falcons on Whiteshite hill. With the breeze building and even some spring time thermals I was really surprised that there were not more human pilots there.
For much of the afternoon I was sharing the airspace with the resident group of Red kites. This time I remembered the better camera so here's a pic, These guys really know what they are doing and don't seem to be bothered at all by my toys. Seeing them there does help to make the day- makes me want to make a new model- just to call it Red Kite:-)
I did my usual trick of taking 3 models but only flying 1 of them, this tie the Falcon was first out of the bag. It was the first time this year that I have experienced that 'kick' as a thermal comes on to the slope and you have to start to modify your turns very quickly.
I was joined by an M60 EPP model. I have some great memories of when these were used in EPP 60 racing. I had forgotten just what good sports flying models they are.
