Wow that's a lovely glider ,very smooth flyer .

Good to see their was no damage by the unseen landing ....

@spektrum33 the pilot did well in the conditions, it's a hefty beast at 40lbs and our local lump isn't too lifty at the best of times....hope to get some better footage of it next time we hit the South Downs

@poppopscarvinshop it's a cracker isn't it poppop, hopefully we'll get some more footage of it on a better day and on a better hill

@reverendkrv I think Simon wants to give her a decent session down on the South Downs when we next get a chance, so fingers crossed for some northerlies

@swarrans1 we certainly had the gods on our side, I'm looking forward to chucking it off a decent hill next time!
