Who'd be a race organiser!

  Putting yourself up as the person who makes a race happen or not is a thankless task (been there)

 

The decision not to hold the southern winter League race this weekend meant that it's was just the slope dogs and me bracing the conditions at 9.00. the winter was cocked off and variable enough to no doubt wind me up at a race.  But for a morning it was great fun.

 Both Saker an Wyvern ripped up and down, trying different things as the air changed. Remembering the feeling of the Sakers step as compared to the Wyvern just reminded me how much I enjoy flying the model

Great fun and as I left after a couple of hours for a roast dinner, not staying to race all day didn't seem too bad!

Taking the Mickie

  The wind starting due west today meant that the slope dogs and I had to take the long walk to the far 'bomb hole' slope today.  I wasn't planning on walking up and down the hill but they were both rather keen on curling up in the shelter it provides!

  The wind picked up from 5 to around 10ms by the time we left so I started with a wyvern and just enjoyed it too much to change! It's a model that has bringing a smile to my face for over 2 years now, I'm always surprised I don't see more of them.

  Setting a model up from Scratch is something I love doing. Recently I've been flying with a forward CG and carving around the turns. Flying faster, if longer and smoother.
