Slope/flat

Monday
very little wind, I flew on Minch, just me and Arthur flying

Tuesday
Minch again, some gut crashed  a 40 sized trainer after failing to plug the aileron lead enough

Thursday, A trip to Cam Long down, very cold, plenty of wind and a light hail shower,
Eyeboy tried to DS his Wildthing without success, more weight and less drag needed to penetrate the dark side.

Saturday a light breeze at Frocester, Ade flew his new zagi see photo

Sunday
at Selsley light lift with the wind going south about 11.00AM
