cut to the core!
A day's worth of wing cutting at Simon's gaff. It's a bit parky so
fast work makes for warm hands....
bed head Paul pretends he knows what he's doing; someone
should inform him it ain't so cool to be no jive turkey this close to Christmas!
we're set up and cleared for cutting
templates for a 4 metre plus scalie
the ingenuity of an Englishman in his shed
let the cutting begin; in the subzero conditions it takes the hotwire
about 2 weeks to get up to temperature
it's a serious business!
voila!
a wing is born!
let's celebrate with a little heat to the hands...
and a load more to the toilet area!

Sunday!
Sadly lacking any actual flying shots as seems to be the way these days,
still there's always next time...
just a few of the sloping hoards that turned out for the day
good to see Paul filling his boots and providing the sound track
for the day with his mighty Ventus
.....and at the other end of the spectrum; Jason's little Limit
Processor (I think)....flew well, as they do (if it is one)
Simon with 'old faithful'
tossed fish
no no, no no no no, no no, no no, no no there's no......
Mr Leebert keeping it real for Movember

last friday or saturday or something
 |
monster cloud with monster rain followed by naff all wind! |
Dave's lovely wing gets a successful maiden
lots of impressive scalies grace the patch and carve the sky
'you can't beat the elegance of a large scale
high aspect glass ship'....
...says the Norse deity Odin as he packs away his third scale Paritech
Nimbus at the end of his day off from saving souls in Valhalla
remember to fit floats if you anticipate landing out
bit of a boost
Some good air to be had today, the sun's warm and despite the high pressure
type clouds there are some decent thermals around....
This monster guffed off the ploughed field at about 3.45pm shortly before sun down
boost gliders are going to be THE thing in 2013
