| Flight details: | We had a great day aerotowing at Plumpton. I had my first decent flight of aerotow in what I perceived to be difficult conditions to start with. It got much better around 12:15 until around 14:30 when the sea air came in and killed all the lift. Chris and Miles made the most of it though and had some good training flights. Below are a few photos I managed to squeeze out of my gopro before the battery died, and a very short and uninteresting video: http://youtu.be/J8VvJEdYhjw |
