A great chance to fly the crest today. Launching off this slope can be the most difficult part of the experience but I'm on a bit of a mission to force myself to do it.
I've put a wyvern together that was a paint seconds to partly convince myself that hitting the slope on launching wouldn't be too bad. The problem I have is that this Wyvern is flying so nicely. I'm confident that although I'll do some experiments through the winter I have some stock settings that feel very easy. A CG slightly forward and reduced flap waffling is providing a great model.
In my thumbs the Wyvern's set up seems to push me towards 3 settings.
1 sport flying where the aim is to do everything as quickly and sharply as possible, often at the expense of raw speed
2, my version of f3f practice, where it seems easy to spot where the bases should be and smoothly carry what feels like loads of speed around smooth turns.
3, at a race, I aim for state 2 but seem so tempted to turn things up to get sport turning.
Today, state 2 felt very, very easy to fly!
