Best air so far of the week. 25 plus on top. Alpina got some big air under her wings. Some tentative flying with the Alpina by neil though as not wanting to push his luck. First crow adjusted so she came in nice. Lunak was flying in biggest air yet.
Nice low very quick using the whole if the slope as PGS were well and truly grounded. Cmpro going well. Unusually one flier on 72mhz one on 35 and one on 2.4. Andrew from Lancasters homebrew also going well. Neil and I had a blast with the wild thing. WT was rolling looping with ease on the big air. Excellent day!
