Motivated guys on cold conditions as your tug pilot took his ski suit!!
Congratulation to him as well !

Here can't do the same : 5 inches of snow, north wind, 0°C and above all regarding these conditions, "wooden thumbs", this is not the best to fly..

Hi Chris,

You spoiled us again with this beautiful video with this great glider! [clap]

Could you explain in detail your system setting the FlyCAM in front of the left wing, please?

Chris, it is a simple carbon tube attached to two pieces of 12 x 3mm spruce. The spruce is laid over the wing and taped together at the trailing edge. The spruce has double-sided tape on the inside faces, which is rubbed with a thumb to make it less sticky. This helps to hold the mount in place.

Beautiful flight Chris. Splendid slope. Far away from home?

I am also very impressed by the stability of your glider. Flight conditions seem to be perfect. Moderate wind. The dream of every slope soarer.
