I flew my Extreme first and annoyed the paraglider pilot who had turned up by how well it went. (The wind picked up a little more and he headed off home defeated by the wind strength) I am well pleased with my Extreme after the recent big repair and also with the changeover to 2.4gHz. Do I feel more connected to the model with the new radio compared to my trusty 35mHz? Well, to be honest, I just might!! Will I be able to fly faster? Absolutely, ha ha!!
Peter pitched up not long after I arrived and flew his well sorted Freestyler and it was very fast in the variable air. Nice model. The air was quite thermally at times and that Freestyler can go!!
I put my Ascot together and gave it a go with wing ballast in. Nice. Even better when I put half the fuselage ballast in too. One thing I am aware of is how out of practice I am at flying F3F and I really hope we get a competition in on the 15th. I predict late turns and lots of cuts from me! I blundered into some great air at one point and my Ascot was fair shifting but I couldn't fly it accurately at all!
After a hour or so and despite it being the first day of summer Peter and I were frozen! Peter was brave wearing shorts! Time to head for the cars! Not many photos today because I was shivering too much by the time I got the camera out and couldn't hold the camera still!! Summer? Huh!
