Campanarios (more) / Maestro

Another good flying day here on La Palma with lots of pilots :-)

Unfortunately the flight was cut short due to the increasing NW-wind, indicated by white caps on the sea. Warned by yesterday's experience, when 1 hour after my landing in Tazacorte the wind inceased well beyond anything a paraglider could handle, I (and most others) landed. Today this has been an unnecessary precaution, as the wind speed in the end didn't go above 18-22kmh...

re: Maestro - I don't think I'll ever get to really like this glider. I'm not sure, but it feels like I had more collapses in the last 7 flights with this glider than I had on the Rook2 the whole last year. And they have not been 'nice' collapses; they happen without any fore warning whatsoever. More collapses have been probably only avoided as I kept the brakes most of the time pulled a little - but everywhere they say 'let the glider fly'...
This glider here does not seem to be the glider I have read all the reviews about before making up my mind :-((
Back home I'll let someone familiar with this glider fly it and he shall then tell me if it is behaving like a PHI Maestro is supposed to...
If it is, then I'll fly my R2 until I get something more to my liking. If it isn't then I'll change it as well, because then it shouldn't have been sold to me in the first place.
