Christmas Day on Ivinghoe Beacon 2019

Показать описание
Light wind, sunshine, blue sky and not too cold. Just three of us flying, my brother and me plus one Marcus Goldsmith who was wanting to become a member of the Ivinghoe Soaring Association. It was pretty much a day for simple close-in ridge soaring, flaps down; there was not enough energy in the air for aerobatics. It was a pleasant day nevertheless and now I have recorded it here for posterity. We look like a couple of 'Michelin Men'... multilayered with Goretex coats and over-trousers!

The Shinto F3F racing model uses a Jeti R/C system on 2.4 GHz 100mW while the Kinetic uses FrSky 868MHz on just 25mW, hence the external dipole antenna.

This was nice to watch. Might be time to get another slope soarer. Kids have flown the nest. 😁
