Red Arrows over the Bwlch, The Spectre, The Moth & The Stug

So on Saturday, Mark, Clive, Phil, Josh and myself walked up the track at the Bwlch to probably our favourite slope there, Mickey's West.

The wind was blowing 25 - 30 mph which, for those who know this slope, equates to a HUGE amount of lift.

It was pretty chilly too with the temperature back at the car park at only 3*C, so with the wind chill, it was a bit cold. However, I was well dressed for the day and I was warm enough to fly for 3 hours.

Phil has been rebuilding his Red Arrows Hawk, and Josh's too, so they launched for a bit of syncro flying, but the conditions were just a bit too much for that.

Anyway, here's some video of the fun they had.




Phil had also brought along his new Flyingwings Spectre, which was flying along with my Moth and Clive's home brew plank, The Stug, which actually flies faster than this video depicts.



Until next time, happy flying dudes
Steve
