A little video of a flight I made on 27th December 2011 with a few pointers for anyone that wants to attempt the same flight. The wind was initially 16mph SSW and by the time I had landed it had picked up to 23mph SW.
Did this flight 2 weeks ago. Fantastic coastal run. Rarely get the opportunity due to firing ranges and wind direction. ‘‘Twas perfect conditions and about 8 of us managed it.
@Reechforthesky I always think of your videos when I turn the camera on and thought I would do a tribute. They do say that imitation is the sincerest for of flattery ;)
@timpent More difficult than in a south westerly but doable with a bit of bar. Don't think you would have much trouble on your Sigma 8! You can always launch from Durdle Door if the Nothe is unreachable.
