Three Fair Maidens at the Long Mynd. Exciting maiden flights

Описание: Three Fair Maidens at the Long Mynd. Exciting maiden flights #slopesoaring

My fourth visit to this slope and a great bunch of guys, many from the local model club.

Sorry about the camera angle as it needed to be higher and hadn't gone up quite enough after my metal detecting video.

Today was blowing quite hard but I set about three maiden flights on one day.
I recently purchased a number of model gliders and am working through them getting them tidy and radio gear into them so this includes 2 of those having their maiden flights.
The third is a Lidle style glider of 86cm span which actually came from Amazon and has been converted to RC.
The Blaze flew great straight off as amazingly did the Lidl style glider.
The Wildthing needed some elevator reduction and camber trim plus some extra weight on the nose but flew great after that.
I also flew the Phoenix 2000 which flew beautifully again.

The Discus is repaired and ready for flight again but I have too many others to maiden yet - there are potentially another 7 to complete from the batch of gliders I purchased.

Hope you enjoy the adventures on the slope.
