I'm told there was wave on Saturday. In fact a few pictures surfaced of the large Lenticular above and behind the Kaimai's.
And on Sunday Maurice ran a very good lecture session on the Duo.
Admittedly the presenters rambled on...and on and on (myself included) but that seems to be what you get with glider pilots...we are far more interested in relating stories of close calls, low saves and others mistakes than staying on topic...
The lecture on the turbo re-enforced my view that it's complicated, is only really good for going sideways (vs going up) and severely compromises your ability to carry water...actually it compromises your ability to carry a second pilot if one of them is over 100kg's.
However we have what we have...I suspect I'll be reading the section in the manual that describes how to remove the motor...especially for X-country flying or contests.
And in the background Roy cooked (over cooked might be a better description) sausages and Bruce did trial flights.
And for the first time in 3 months I managed a take-off and landing...
And a strange yellow thing was sighted up in the sky...a rumour suggested it might be the sun...who knows.
