finally :-)

Finally the 'long-awaited' maiden flight with my new glider. Many thanks to Andy, who has driven me to Alp Scheidegg!

Ideal conditions for an easy fwd launch, nice thermals bringing me close to the airspace limit of 1700msl. The glider handles really well, although feedback is more direct than on my other Leeloo(s) and thermal 'bumps' are not as dampened either. Flying for about 40' before landing at 'Hüebli'. No manouevers flown, this has to wait for the next flight... A few small things need to be changed/ adapted: brakes are still a bit short; the accelerator needs some ajustment (shortening); if possible, I'd like to have the stabilo line in a different color, so it can be found easier/ faster.
