Here's one from Sunday on Crook Peak, Razor slope. It is the 'Great Wall' 2.8m glass glider from T9, made by TJIRC of Mini Q fame. I am still setting it up (of course) and it seems to get better all the time as CG goes back. Luckily a friend John B was there to to shoot it with his phone.

That’s lovely, Ric! Are your feet still in one piece?

Thanks 😃

Yes, feet are ok. My back is a bit tired instead, bringing up 15-20kg of gliders on top of mountains.

Big fun this afternoon - T-Master in 40mph wind on the south cliff at Beer Head, Devon

warning - also contains on-board footage -  to show the view - its an epic soaring site

Looks a fabulous site Phil. What’s the best way to get to the cliffs, along common lane, and the car park there?

Mike - sent you a PM

For anyone else who is interested - its a designated paraglider / hang-glider launch site - so we can only fly there when its blown-out for them - big wind - big fun

I have been up there in paraglider-friendly conditions and co-habited with them very nicely. A lot of the local paraglider pilots seem to fly RC as well.

Well. of course! I was fascinated by the paraglider pilot trudging up towards the slope.

Ah ah, yes indeed. At a moment there were 12 in flight. Fortunately they went away very quickly. But respect, they earn the flight walking up.
