Hi all

I met up with some fellow liftzoners while flying my new Step 3 today. Here's a pic of my new baby.

p.s. I wish I had the spoilers up for this pic.

I know it's off topic, but here's my other new plane. I guess it's technically a glider until I fit the Endoplasm V8 donk.

It was great to get to launch her yesterday, I havent't high lifted a model for about 3months. I was frustrated that i didnt't have my bird down there. The thermals were coming through very nicely.
Pete, we should have stuck her on the winch, would have given you some excellent hight.
Mafu, the nice chap he is captured some video footage of Peter launching her.

The wind was almost dead, so the launch was't very high at all, but still enough to have a few passes.

Nicely done. I'll bet she floats well!

Great video - you guys are legends. Must tell Mark his landing is recorded for posterity.

Yes, it was lots of fun coming out and seeing her fly!

I discovered how much fun video editing was yesterday - I've done a dodgey job, but here goes anyway :-) Both launches (and typos in the credits! doh!)

I flew this plane today at Cleveland glider club - they talked me into putting her up on the winch. I was pretty nervous but what a blast! Highest launch ever for me, and also longest flight - not great conditions but blips of lift coming through with the breeze kept her up for a while. I'm hooked!
