Slope soaring at JOMAC

There was a brisk northerly wind today. I thought I might attempt to slope soar on the face of the dam with my Bug HLG.
Here's a rather dodgy video clip (58 secs)



One of the local citizens watched.

Some unusual birds at the gliding field today.

And here's a short clip, (43 secs), of Eric's Hs 129

Charl's pattern aircraft, (a Show Time I think).

Francois' quarter scale Extra had it's first flight. It is powered by a 160cc petrol engine.

Colin connects the servos on his extra large Stik. He is chanting the mantra "white on the outside, white on the outside".

Charlie's Harvard had its first flight today.

There's nothing like a quiet kip at the flying field

Charlie's Harvard

A really beautiful aircraft.
