Selfie With Steve
HI Steve I very much enjoyed my flight. Thinking about it afterwards, I would be inclined to put a thin piece of black tape where the string is supposed to sit. I found the string to be rather coarse as an instrument and the centre was only a guess. I also found the controls to be much lighter and requiring little input so I suspect I was over controlling. The control stick also will take some getting used to. I also found the low nose to be a bit strange. Amazing how you get used to a certain look and feel. Hopefully in the spring I can get a few flights in. Blues skies and lots of thermals, Harrie
