Thanks lads!
Now I have a plane that really likes the wind :)

Charlie,
I've set GoC as per instruction with a bit nose down attitude (btw, calculated CoG was about 75mm from LE).
all controls level.

The wind was (according uk.weather.com) 26km/h.
with just a little push from my launch boy it flew parallel to the slope
peeking up the speed.
After just two or three seconds it started to climb still staying level... and sometime flying backwards.
In fact, I had to keep elevator a bit down to get her flying forward.

Hi Alan,
I did not fly at Lacken, went there to check up the road and in a hope to see if anyone else is flying.
Drove up to viewpoint carpark - busy place - lots of hillwalkers.

Dennis
