Spook & Hawk

Sunday 13th April 2014 - The usual four of us, Phil, Mark, Chris and myself, met on the Ice Cream slope at The Bwlch. It was a beautiful sunny day with a light breeze and stronger gusts as the thermals came through. We didn't bother setting up the mouldies as the forecast was for the wind to shift from the NW to West which would mean packing up for the long walk to Mickey's.

Phil had brought his new plane, the Spook from www.flyingwings.co.uk and gave that it's first chuck of the day and I flew my newly rebuilt flyingwings Hawk, which I featured here in an earlier blog.

We were only on the Ice Cream slope for about an hour before the wind began to shift and we began the long trek over to Mickey's West. But the trek was worth it and we had a cracking days flying.

Here is a video of Phil maidening his Spook on the Ice Cream slope and me flying the Hawk on Mickey's. Later in the week, if I get time, I'll load up another video showing some of the other models flying on Mickey's.
