Default An interesting trial flight attempt...

... with a better result than a previous recent thread ;-)

Some notes about this:

Average flights to this point in 2005: time 3:03 and
distance 149 miles. I know that seems short but it
includes things like BFR/rope-break practice and
some demo rides.

This business about 12 volts vs 14 volts is silly;
real pilots know 280 volts is best.

Flame shields up.

Very macho wing dolly, scarey big electric connectors, and now I know
why you sold the Ventus!

I agree - I think 18 meter would be preferable for most of my flying
(no, don't send me an order blank yet!).
