Sunny, warm, light to no wind. Been waiting for today to try out my Hobbyking bungee rubber. Setup up a hi-start with 20m rubber 100m line. First launch was ok straight into a little thermal 2 minute flight not bad. Second launch more height similar flight. 3rd launch more height similar flight. 4th launch similar height more flight! straight in a decent thermal. Up up up up.. 25 minutes later :lol: First decent thermal of the summer.
Had a few more flights but that was by far the best.  Reckon I can get a lot more height from the launch with more line. I can probably add another 30/40 metres before i reach the limits of the field. Really happy with the Hobbyking rubber. Was hopin with a decent hi-start i could do a good bit of thermal flying this year. So far so good. Now I want a 3 metre thermal machine. Better start cutting some foam!  :lol:

Hi all,
      no wind today so went flying with my dad today. Cloud base 1000 feet and still air so no gliding, but most enjoyable. I cant believe he's 80 this year.
John.

Happy Days:
Well here’s a coincidence. :shock:  For the first time, since my wife and I moved to Ireland, we saw a powered glider over our house on, I think it was Saturday. (Might have been Friday.)

Your dad hasn’t been flying around the Enniscorthy area has he? And 80 years young! He’ll be catching me up soon. :wink:
