I've mentioned before that around 3 years ago I decided to commit to flying in whatever conditions I was daft enough to go out in and the slope that was available, since then I have been receiving looks of bewilderment on slopes from Beer to the Wrecker.
Flying in the kind of strong winds that we have had lately with the moldies I have means that you know that you're going to be going fast. I've come to the realisation that what you need and develop is a confidence in your model. I know that it is more than strong enough but it's the model's handling and behavior that you really need to trust.
This weekend I flew the Saker and then Wyvern models. Both screaming around the sky whilst my face was blown around like a spaniel leaning out of a car window. Not sure Slope dog enjoyed it too much!
