Super flying, Jo! What an immensely satisfying thing it must be to have such a perfect sloping site not too far away. I'd have to travel about 170 miles or more to enjoy slope soaring. Your Lightning is really at home there. I noticed a lot of 'right side up' flying from my northerly viewpoint ☺😜👍
Turns out the Lightning V2 was totally at home on the slope. It does have a rather thin wing profile, but it still picked up tons of lift, right from the launch on. I was worried about the landing, but somehow I managed to park it in the long grass right on the edge of the road. Even missed the drain I fell into last week!
It did spit a few raindrops, from time to time, but so intermittant we sometimes weren't really sure it would start raining. But the wind was great to go sloping, so we ignored the few drops. 😍
Great maiden in that superb lift Jo, I'm glad to see you landed this side of the drain 🙂👍
You and me both!

Nice to have company 😊
It sure is!
Those clouds were rather ominous but they didn't upset the performance 👍👍👍👍
