Hüsliberg

Burnair's thermal fcst for the day (8.7.) called for 'potential hammer conditions', but the cloud cover has been much more persistent than forecast and conditions became good only after 1630. This had meant either parawaiting since 1400 or making a more or less extended sledder. Andy opted for the second, I for the first...

Pano on launch after all but three had 'disappeared' :-)

But Andy together with many others returned for a second flight. By now conditions had finally improved quite a lot and all could make a good flight.

I could make the first flight with my new Leeloo2 :-)

And the waiting has really been worthwhile: nice conditions with thermals up to 4m/s and great views!

The Leeloo2 behaved as expected: very nice on launch, no problems in-flight: just as you would expect from a Leeloo and as we have become used to meanwhile.

Landing after 1h40m - though conditions would have permitted probably flying into the sunset.
