1/5/2024, Mad Hatter 2e F5L 201 seconds 3:21 My humble offering. I flew down at the BATS school playing fields yesterday evening. Managed to bury my bubble dancer in soft mud for their open glider comp (flying the wrong model - it was rather a long way upwind).. Why upwind, well - there was a bit of ridge lift and I was well on the way for the 8 minute max when I was joined by a couple of others and ended up flying the wrong one. 😬 Also - close downwind was a large housing estate - only about 100m downwind in fact. A definite no fly zone. So, I got the my Mad Hatter out for the first time since last November and its rebuild and started retrimming it. Decided that the CG was too far aft but the real problem was the housing estate. Lift was quite weak and very narrow and the breeze was picking up. Only 2 obvious thermal flights but both had to be abandoned as the model approached the houses. -
