Not really flying-in-the-field but Chris, myself and two extras went slope soaring at Tranmere today.

I thought I’d post this hat cam video of the first ever flight of the balsa/solar film two meter glider.

Thanks to Chris for doing the initial take off and trimming before handing it over to me.

I didn’t realise how tricky it is to land a glider on a slope when all the glider wants to do is keep climbing and flying!

I have cut out a bit of the onboard FPV video from the wing being launched from the robo Ron bungy launcher.

Quite bumpy from the wind and flying into the sun is not so good.

Just missed the top of a tree at 48 seconds!

Great write-up Mike.  I can’t wait for the videos.

Cheers,

Ron.

Great news BA. Hopefully they will not take too long to come in.

I’ve been trying to post internet links to stuff but it doesn’t seem to work for me. I’ve been using the Insert Link button in the tool bar but with no success.

I’m glad you found a dvr for it.

Cheers,

Ron.

Another attempt at me trying to post a photo.

Some of you have already looked around for the mirror style goggles. I purchased mine for $120 but I notice the ones available on Banggood now are slightly different and now more expensive.  I don’t think the ones I got are available now and Banggood even changed the photo of the the ones I bought in my previous orders list.

Worked well for me Mike.
