finally! (Air Design Rise 2)

New Year: after having failed to fly from the Wiesshorn several times in the last 4 weeks due to 'unsuitable' wind (either direction and/ or strenght) I finally managed to make the 'maiden flight' with my AirDesign Rise2.

Arosa Weisshorn: TO (by Marlies)




Reverse launching in the light easterly wind was no problem. The modification made to the risers now allow me to reach easily the (outer) A-lines for making big ears.
I didn't perform any manouvers at all; I just enjoyed the smooth air and the cloudless blue sky on my flight to Chur.




Chur: main station
I hope this nice start into the new flying year will be a good 'omen' for the flights to come!
