Many thanks to the workers for getting the Skylaunch back on line.- JSi
Thursday 30th May
Thursday saw a brightish start but with a very brisk northerly. The kit was
out and the first launch just before 10:00 with a reduced price launch for Chris
M – his reward for being early. The crosswind made for challenging
conditions with a blue flag flying virtually all day. The wind veered a little
just after lunch as the decaying front passed through so we changed ends and got
better launches but it was still virtually unsoarable – only Pete Stap managed
anything of significance with about 50 minutes, but for most it was a quick up
and a very quick down. With the support of Woolly and Mark C everybody who wanted
to fly did and Liam and Gordon took advantage of the conditions to update
card checks. Work continues on the Eagle and it is finally taking shape.
