At last…Back in the sky

At last after all these months of rain, winds and doubt, I was up there with the seagulls at Rossall Beach.

I was down our field last night and attemted two launches but the first i nearly ended up on my face cause i tripped and the second and wing just fell to one side….not enough effort…maybe.

Its been quite hard these last few months cause ive renewed fuel pipes, filter and stripped my carb down and done a bit of a mod to improve idle.

So i think this time its been quite hard to get back into it, with all these little nigling things of tinkering with the engine and douting myself that its going to conk out as soon as i took off, and the obvious thought of do i really want to do this.

Well it didnt and it sounded great, the wind was a bit of a problem because it was nearly nil and varible, i ended up with 2 failed launches, 1st one due to the wind the second because i was getting hot and sweaty and not enough effort but both times my wing just went over to one side. 3rd time lucky i was up, i think because of my angle of attack during take off as soon as my legs were up i seemed to sit straight down on my seat, a good thing a bad thing im not sure maybe im pulling my leg straps too hard.

I dont really care cause i flew and im buzzing 15mins, 2 hours who gives a f***

Pie and peas tomorrow a long weekend away in Yorkshire with lots of flying. By all accounts according to all sources its going to be a corker. 

Ill report back soon…….
