New lay up testing

   After screaming around the mynd last week, this Saturday I had the chance to maiden my newly completed Wyvern. The new lay up spec has brought the weight of the Wyvern down to 2150g.

  I was lucky enough to launch into some good air and with the wyvern's set up quite well known the new Wyvern felt well set and as a result- fast.  

  Just a happy day flying with a model that shows so clearly where the lift is.
 

Mynd with mates

 My last trip to the mynd for the year was greated with building conditions to enjoy and some top company to enjoy it with.  It was great to see Mark Southall flying for the first time in a long time.

 As the air became smoother and straighter on the slope I was faced with the spoilt choice of Saker or Wyvern to fly. 

Both could take off as the air came on. I'd forgotten just how easy it is to fly the Saker and get such good performance. The bigger wing and more mass gave it the advantage in some mixed air. Days like this are more about a great time in a beautiful place. I do worry that we might have sparked Mark's racing flame again- someone else to beat me
