Another outing on my Ibex for some swoopy flying and lots of exercise! I do believe the speed flying bug is biting............ Big fun at Liddington. Could have done with a bit more wind really...............

  • doesnt your wing get wet?? iv heard ut streches your lines ect. Plus what sort a gear you wear in the winter.

  • @Goair18 Things do get a little damp. Depends on how cold it is! The colder it is the drier things stay. Wear WARM gear in winter. I use several layers of technical clothes that skiers wear plus a flight suit. Sealskin gloves, windcheater for my face. :)

  • @Reechforthesky Ok thanks for your reply buddy, i only passed my EP August this year, im taking my CP end of November and iv just brought a brand new wing and was worried about the damage id do to it in the winter.

  • @Goair18 No worries. Where you training?

  • @Goair18 No worries. Where you training? What wing you bought?

  • @Reechforthesky I think my instructor uses long mynd, im just sitting around at the mo, itching to fly, i cnt go now where as most sites are CP only. So i just go over the local park and do alot of GH!!! After GH ill be looking at my CP exam revision notes.

  • @Goair18 Ground handling is brilliant. The better you get the easier it is takeoff! :)

  • Nice one!

  • Tis big fun. I had a demo Ibex a year and a bit ago. It took a year for me to find one at a reasonable price. Now I've got one I want to fly it all the time! Fantastic glider. It does have unsheathed upper lines. They were designed as alpine descent gliders but I think they found they flew way better than they expected!

  • Reech, You are getting more and more like Jessie from the Fast Show - "This week I are mostly been Speedflying!" - Nice to see you joining the dark Side! Does your Ibex have the thin top lines? ATB Bill
