Sunday flying yipp'eeee
fantastic day on Moneylaws, The Phantom is beautiful to fly and the performance took my breath away !
We should all get together one day on Crossfell and do the full ridge run 35k O/R !
Still can't sleep thinking about it.

Re: Sunday flying yipp'eeee
Ha ha! That's how I felt when I first flew a rigid. It was such a startling leap in performance compared to my Stealth. I felt stunned for a couple of days. 2/3rds the sink rate and another 4 points on glide has got to be worth the extra 20mins rigging time. Easier to carry up too (in 2 sections). Come on flexwing pilots, get with the times.ron freeman wrote:Still can't sleep thinking about it.
