Just a flight log post today.
I’ve given the flying muscles a severe workout this weekend.
On Saturday, Ms Canada and I tripped down to Flinders to catch the coastal sea breeze. Initially looking a bit doubtful with the wind off to the southwest, I set up the Fun and took off for an hour of cruising the eastern section of the bowl. A nice landing and lunch on the beach and I pack up as the wind slowly swings to the south.
Back at takeoff, I set up the ATOS rigid wing and launch. The conditions become good, then excellent, with heights of 600ft and flying the coast many kilometers to the west past Cairns Bay.
3-1/2 hours this day.
Sunday was a late start, but I headed off alone to the Dynamic Flight Park out past Ballarat. It was quiet, with three visiting Finns being launched by car tow. I set up the nanotrike on the ATOS and launched. landing 3 hours later after climbs to 5000 ft and some excursions toward Lexton.
By the time I got home (at about 8pm) I was very stiff indeed!
