shauncwalsh Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 First attempt at this, best of a number of flights with Stewart Walker who was better at finding the lift than I was. 6 min 26 secs F5-RES Circle Dancer (a.k.a Kavan Resco) Bramhall 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cirrusRC Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Pleasant afternoon. Shorts and T-shirt, hazy blue sky, light winds and smooth lift, but narrow and tricky low down. Plenty of 30-minute flights, but struggled to link them up as the low-level thermals kept leading to dead ends and the thermals vanishing. Last flight of the day was the best, down wind launch to 35 meters, good low save and a good climb out against a nice white cloud all the way to 1800 feet before I pulled the spoilers. Mid way through the flight a front moved in and brought a big black cloud and winds 10-15mph. Spent most of the flight stationary and maintaining height by just surfing and riding the cloud suck @ 400 meters. That eventually evaporated and I gradually came down. A very turbulent and breezy landing. David | X-RES | 30th April | 38 minutes 2 seconds 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
