1st May | F5L | Medina | 47 mins 36 Got out during lunch break. Hazy, light winds and warm. Had to work hard to get away as lift very narrow, some very tight spiralling did the trick. Once up high there was an abundance of lift and red kites. Spent most of the flight trying to lose height without losing too much. Full spoiler and dive for a few seconds. Eventually had to abort as running short on time. A nice benchmark to be beaten. -

Kavan Resco : F5L : 01/05/2024 : 4m 37s After a nasty few days of weather in Devon, it was unexpectedly calm day today, so I took the opportunity to pop down my local field before the next batch of forecast wet and windy weather arrives. Sun was popping in and out behind clouds. Lots of seagulls circling in big thermals, but were a long way from me to reach. My streamer only seemed to show a constant Easterly breeze, so I was just blindly launching into different parts of the field with no success. For my third and last battery I decided to wait for my streamer to show changes in directions, and finally for this flight there was a change and so I launched into the breeze and immediately circled round to where I thought the thermal was and caught it. Climbed to over 100m, but my flying was very scrappy today so didn't make the most of it. One problem I was also having today was a big stall when the motor cuts. I do try and anticipate when the motor will cut so the climb is shallow at this point to avoid the stall. Anyway for this flight I judged it just right and avoided the stall. Nice to see lots of buttercups in the field. Pleasant time out, which included me trying out my little Spin EL. I haven't set up flight modes yet, and with the basic setup it was so easy to make use of all the little bubbles of lift available. Very nice. Carl
