tonym Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 We might do a little aerotowing! If you have any suitable gliders with a tow release bring them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonym Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 David, Paul and myself went and did a little aero-towing so missed a few rounds. Results for Tuesday 21st July fly-in In the R1 G1 I didn't get away on the horn (my prop gets caught under the canopy, must do something about that!) so tried to mitigate the lost 20 or so seconds by launching low, never got higher than 85m. In the third round the air was looking poor before the El Nino was turned on its wing tip, I turned it back the other way and on the other wing tip went straight up - nearly. Behind a strong thermal is ...., good job Garry had marked out some reasonable air on my way back or I might have been down early. Another great day at Little Bentley - really feels like a Sunday 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholls Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) Great day Tony, many thanks. Congrats to John. Although I only saw the aerotowing from a distance Paul's email detailing the videos gave me a chance to see what it was like. Looking forward to the next one although this Sunday is now a possibility for a 6 man (places taken) gathering in Kent. A couple of photo's taken by me Brian has more to follow I'm sure... Randy exercising before winning his last 3 groups Tony's fleet before gazebo collapsed luckily without causing any damage.

EssexBOF Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Enjoyable day although feeling knackered near to the end so left early. Sorry chaps. Strange conditions at times with some big sink holes if in the wrong place, which I seemed to find on more than one ocasion . A couple of pictures of the day, not much in the way of action ones, as it was all go flying and timing!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, traced the starboard aileron fault to the connection between Servo and extension wire coming out in the wing. All sorted now. Took two minutes.
