Hi Fred,

I think there is something wrong with the Grunau video. When I try to play it, it says the file is corrupt  :cry: .
But anyway, congratulations on the first flight. I hope to give my Pilatus it's first flight soon. Maybe this weekend since we have Friday and Monday off  :D .

Great Video Fred  :D . You look releaved to have landed it safely. The conditions must have been tricky.
For the B4 I may fly it for the first time from lacken. The reason being is that I can keep far away from people when flying there, just in case things go pear shaped  :D .
