Weather looks good today, sunshine & a stronger wind (as opposed to hardly anything yesterday!)
I think we'll go again today 8)

Just like to thank Bryan Beasley for the spare structil he had to mend the ULE on my OS, (I am a n00b) :oops: and his advice on removing the trick line & adding 15g of weight to the lower spine.
After the improvements he was flying it around showing me some tricks and I asked if the OS would 'comet', he said "I don't think so" but he did it anyway!! LOL

I did get a thumbs up from him for my axels though.... :cool:

Nice place to visit, God awful flying site though, and really pants wind.

Made a change to be out in the sunshine though.

All being well Kedlestone Hall in Derbyshire might be better, fingers crossed. The Hypnotist arrived, can't wait to get out with it!
