As shabby as it gets...........
....... unless you know different!
Newport, Gwent, a few days after Christmas, an hour before dusk, light going fast with very low cloud and bad viz, starting to rain and going stir crazy cooped up with mother-in-law!  Enough knotage over the sea wall to keep a few gulls aloft.  Launched and flew up and down 75 yards in reducing viz and drizzle; it was a fix!

"What is that you are flying?"
Hi SD It's a thermal / light wind sloper called an Eppi-SOAR. Only 2 channel, but I love it.  Stays up when most things won't and deals with quite high winds. Being EPP it has taken all sorts of punishment. http://www.phoenixmp.com/models/eppisoar.htm |

Not too shabby I'd say. When you need a fix, you need a fix!
