Hey Richard,
Do you fly at Binevenagh alot? Looks spectacular,lift must be great there. Whats the access like? Dont mind walking at all but always handy if there is a road. Hows the Veccy going for you, did you have her out yesterday?

Richard Boyd:
Hi Ed, I try to fly on Binevenagh as often as I can. My parents have a caravan about 5 min drive from the mountain. This is Andrews local flying site and I team up with him.
I had the children up at the caravan last week and meet Andrew and his dad Jeff and flew on the westerly cliffs. A hoop over a fence and 100yrds from the road and your on the ridge. Amazing lift and I flew the veccy but truth be told I am taking my time to get used to how she flys before I try any wild aerobatics. The Vector III is so beautiful to fly and has amazing accuracy in every maneuver I have tried with her. The roll rate feels abit sluggish so I will try and add some flap mix into the ailerons and see if it improves. CG is finally set at 110mm , again maybe a bit far back for some pilots but this is how I fly.
Jeff was thrilled by the sound of the Veccy zipping along the ridge !!!!
totally amazing screams as she passes you by lol
I had a great time with Andrew and Jeff and loved the stories Jeff told of how they launched of the ridge and then walked 4 or so miles and landed in the fields below ! Now thats cross country flying.
I love this plane so so much and I know they are expensive but worth every penny for the best slope gliding experience !
Richard
wish the cloud would lift !

I had my 4th flight with the Vector 3 this evening.
Slieve Gallion was the setting with 20mph winds hitting the big North slope.
All I can say is this plane is getting better every flight.
Now I have her nearly trimmed so it was time to do some aerobatics.
4 point rolls are so so simple and the plane made me look in control lol.
This is the first glider that I have flown that a inter-grated roll in a loop is easy to perform. what a feeling.
