SFra -7: ULM

Also Sunday didn't allow flying; well that's not really correct: we (Martin and I) flew in Martin's ULM a 'Jodel D18) from Sisteron/ Vaumeilh - but again no PG.


Martin refueling his 'Jodel D18' (consumption: about 15l/hr)
a little 'thight' inside...

It is a very nice little aircraft with a good cruise speed (of about 190kmh), quite silent (inside and outside) and very pleasant to fly; the only draw back according to Martin (who is an excellent pilot): landing this taildragger in (left) cross winds is VERY tricky/ demanding...
We cruised around for about 45 minutes before heading back to Vaumeilh: to the west the first showers could already be seen. A second flight with a friend of his, Martin had to cut short as it started raining in Sisteron as well.
