Nigel_W Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Yes, it was great. Ice still on the grass when we arrived, and car thermometer said 1.C when I left, but it was sunny all day. Nice to get some trimming done and ballast experiments in really good conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of balllast experiments can you do in 20 m/sec? It's mostly all in or all in :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_B Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 TBH it wasn't 20 m/s all day ......but it started at about 14 I did have one flight start with 1kg and sinking down below the lip.....either the direction shifted or huge sink.... Nigel did improve a lot over the day ...pitbull looks much more settled now . Your old Jazz was loving reversals as did Mikes. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isoaritfirst Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Great day, nice interesting conditions. Shinto, Jazz and DSNeedle. Jazz had a spell of scary fast. Typical ballast all day was around 1.1kg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
