Yup. I walk up the slope, walk down the slope, see people playing boats in envy..."Always fly with a responsible attitude.

Don't have to be. This is the window of opportunity to fix up and prepare your new gliders for the peak of season. If you don't believe, you'll soon find out that you wouldn't want to do so either when the wind starts to blow again. You'll be on the slope whenever you have free time instead of staying at home anyway.Originally posted by Sunstorm View Post
Many poeple are often left with unbuild new gliders after the season, due to this.Comment

Yes sir. Just that it is a bit disappointing when I have an ELF in one hand and an Easyglider in another, expecting a bit o' air time, and I see big big boats sailing around.Originally posted by joe yap View Post

Looking at the met report in the afternoon, the wind was blowing in the correct direction. Went up to the slope late, after work.
The regulars were already there. I started with my Elf and flew for a few minutes when I had a mid air with Francis' Talon. No major damage, my vertical fin came off, this should be easily fixed.
Luckily I had my Bug with me also. The Bug was very light and was blown all over the slope in the light wind. I was still having fun with the Bug after all the guys went home. I flew till about 7.05 when I have difficulty seeing the bug in the sky....it was a good short evening flight.Comment

Had another good evening flight after work yesterday. I was the last person in the air and it was getting darker. I saw 1 guy with this glider stuck on the big tree on the left, he and a group of helpers were still trying to get the plane down when I rushed home.
Hopefully the bro manage to retrieved his plane....
Looks like there are some wind consistency this few days here after all...Comment
