Hi All
Well what a fantastic day on the slope, winds reaching 35mph and blue skies.
Richard and I both flew our mdm fox gliders and all I can say is WOW! what a great model, looks great in the air and flys in a scale manner. I could'nt fly the little Lalysee wing, the wind was just to strong for it, even the Skyhawk had problems pushing forward in the lift. Here are a few pics from today, I think Richard has more photos and some video to post also.
