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 ;)
