After more than 1 year of 'abstinence' of flying, today was finally the day of my 'maiden flight'.
Conditions on launch were perfect with just a little headwind, the thermals strong and high, the air cold ;-)
So after 1hr5mins I landed on the (snow covered) golfcourse...
The flight details can be found here.
My heartfelt thanks go to Ruth, who in the end accepted (though not with much enthusiasm) that I had to try and fly again.

Yeah - I love this spirit!
If one stops doing what one loves one might be already dead.
Respect to Ruth - I can imagine this is not easy.
Nice flights and soft landings.
