What a glorious day! The sun shone, the wind was gentle, (perhaps a little too gentle for some) and to everyones approval the temperature was warm.
I saw lots of pilots with cameras so I won't bother posting many of mine, just a few to give a flavour of the days event.
First up we have Dillon (hope I've spelt that right.) Dillon was up on the slopes of the Big L today for the first time. He also flew for the first time ever and I have to say he put in a pretty good show for a first timer, easily handling the 2 meter wing span model you see him holding here. And no, he didn't 'cheat' by using the prop. He flew it in true glider style as you see it in the picture, with the propeller secured back against the fuselage.
Well done that lad.
Now I've always believed that people involved in any sport or hobby can generally be divided into one of two categories. Those who do it,.......and those who talk about it!
Which category do you thing the people in the following pictures fall into?

Eventually Roisin got bored with all the talk of wingspans, lift / drag ratios and aileron differentials and decided to entertain us by doing a striptease on the picnic table. (She's very brazen.)
It was certainly a good day.
