Hi Fred. Did you have a Laptop computer with you. How did you post messages from the slope?

Well, things got a bit damp and all, but it was still great crack (I was very lucky though, I was one of the first to launch, and so got two long flights in before the weather deteriorated).

Thanks very much to Ralph and all for the organisation of the event :clap:  :D

 :) Chris

My Destiny and Peter's PSS (looks like a Macchi..) Launch of the PSS a bit dodgey with the wind, but after a touch and go just after the launch, Peter managed to get it in the air without a scratch !  :D


Halloween



A "few" models at the slope  :D

Well, after that...



Rain !


That did not stop 2 or 3 guys to fly anyway !  :D  :clap:  :clap:
And we call up the day at around 2 pm.
