Monday 3rd May


Enough members turned up today and we soon had the two 21s out. They were greeted by a strong North Easterly wind 12 knots gusting to 25 knots. Thermals to 2500, 8 kt climbs but with 6 to 10 knots sink in between.
Two 29 minute flights were the longest of the day, but mostly circuits if you didn't manage to get away.
Mike (ex chairman)had check flights with Mike F.

Investigations at the end of last week suggested that the gearbox of the new winch was not working correctly. Today Skylaunch collected the winch for repair of the gearbox and other minor niggles. The old Supercat coped with the conditions without any problems.
