The better the flying, the less energy left to write...

Great day today, got another 3 flights off Babadag, finally getting the hang of wingovers and working them into my little bit of an acro routine. SO, today's programme went as follows - started with a negative spin, (oh, and for explanation of all the terminology below go to Acromania website) then to full stall to tail slide to left SAT with a coconut spin (Gorilla was happy) to right SAT to aggressive wingovers to asymetric spiral to spiral to wingovers to spot landing! Very respectable for an amateur.

As you can see clouds still rolled in with force but we were able to sneak right around them getting to launch just in time, waiting out a bit of a shower with some Turkish tea and olives and going up again and again. The competition is starting tomorrow, so let the fun begin! ...off to get the early registration done.

Oh, and to our pregnant friends - we love you and thinking of you and everybody wishes you were here! And Carol - yes they are! and that's why we love them!
