My Flying

The winch was still unfortunately kaput and so we could fly gliders, even though there was a good turnout of members.

I took the Falke for a 50 minute spin. Talk about a frustrating flight. There were quite a few bumps that teased one into believing that there was lift, but they were weak and very broken. I spent lots of time trying to use them, but with the Falke's motor ticking over at 1500 rpm just to sustain altitude. A few times I gained a few hundred feet, but eventually headed for home.
