yeah we should start a campaign with Ben about the seat. I have suggested that he makes one with a 'hump' at shoulder level that could also be used for storage of small items.
@flyingphox88 Yes - particularly when I was stalling it in the rain and blustery conditions. Also useful (I think) in thermalling. But it looks naff so now I am more familiar with the aircraft I may remove it.
@flyingphox88 the way I have them at the moment, it doesn't give any reach advantage. If I angle them down it does, but then they tend to dig in to me in flight and the front strut when parked. I think Charlie is working on something that might be an improvement.
excellent control in those conditions considering it was your first flight. How come you got one with black metalwork, I thought they'd switched to grey.
Too windy today up here in the north east to get mine out ... I'm getting withdrawal
@kindamess1 Hi - thanks for comment. I have the original DF number 1 (ex demo and 2nd) - but it has been well looked after and I am really pleased with it. I like your bar grips. I am wondering if I need some padding behind me as I like to be more upright.. but need a few more hours under my belt before I make any changes
excelent first flight andy,nice cross wind landing,you did it like a pro....That strip looks a bit rough on the ground,looking forward to flying with ya on my ppg......

@kindamess1 I think thats why your grips help - you can sit back and still reach the bar .
Does your airspeed indicator help>?
