Hi
The first flight of my Ropa was done. Unfortunately, my video of the flight was failed, and therefore it can not be used. I have just several pictures before the flight. I had to adjust the center of gravity position to 90mm. Now, everything is OK. And at this time, I am planning the next flight to event ,, Podzimní Raná,, on 16.10.2017. Now, I am kind of busy because of wine harvest. It is my second nice hobby. [baaave]
