Title: Firle triangle
Site:Firle
Pilot:Carlo Borsattino
Date of flight:11th April 2014
Wing type:Paraglider
Flight details:
First some pilot coaching with Adam Cutts, John Martin and Richard Chapman (test flying the Skywalk Tonic) for a few hours, then kept flying to complete a 15km FAI triangle. Bit windy at times for my liking, but the Carrera managed it all with consummate ease. Adam did fantastically well to stay up when many (most) went down, showing great patience and excellent thermaling skills. John wanted to break the tie to the hill, and certainly managed that - and loads more! Richard wanted to see if the Tonic mini wing would stay up with the big wings, and showed that it most certainly can! Great day (if a bit too windy at times)!
