Return: Pizzocolo / Molveno

Sun (18.5.) I had arrived at Hotel Colomber in San Michel on Saturday afternoon. The ride to launch (shuttle) was delayed due to road closure (MTB-race), so I reached launch only by 1230. Like 2 days ago, the flight has been 'sporty' and the approach demanded lots of attention/ patience. Afterwards I drove to Molveno for my last flying day on Monday.

Looking back to launch(es): W-S-SE (wings on W-launch)

Sunset over Lake Molveno

Mon (19.5.)

Again (!) a better day than fcst. I could make a nice flight (bumpy at times) before by 1230 the valley wind kicked in and I landed. When I left Molveno for my (uneventful) 6h-drive back home, the wind already had become rather strong...

Pano on launch, looking South

Conclusion: With the exception of 2 days we/ I could fly every day :-)  That's a lot more than the initial fcst 'promised' - actually only 2 days before the start of the iCamp Michael had considered to cancel the camp in view of the lousy predictions...

SIV: I could fly all the manoeuvres I wanted/ have been able to with my Leeloo1 as well with the LeelooX. Unfortunately, anything requiring my left hand could not be done, as I have not been able not reach high enough :-(
