Hi all,

Sorry, catching up with life!

Fab weekend, thanks Ralph for organizing it!
Purely talking towing, we had our first rows on Saturday evening with a lovely session, flying in silk.
Sunday was mad hot at some point as I was cooking while flying, but tons of tows with now a machine that is well oiled (French expression, not sure if that works 🤣) until late.
And of course, bonus session on Monday with even more flying!

On a side note, did the first flights of my new tow plane, a big trainer, just a small issue with idle but thanks to Brendan and Ralph for looking into it 😘

First flights also of my Finesse Max. What a machine!


So again, thanks to Ralph for welcoming and towing us, and CMAC for hosting us 👍👍

I only have a few photos, which is always a good sign, that mean I was busy flying! And looking forward to the drone footages! 😃

Ralph thank you for letting me in here.


I'll try to get more active with my drones and get footage at as many events as I can.

Meanwhile here is probably one of my best glider related clips  ;)
