What, how on earth can you safely fly something without atleast one big fan on it...? ;D

Think of it this way... let's say you're flying a power plane, and something falls off in flight. Which would you prefer to lose- the prop, or the wings?

Excellent! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I forgot I had my camera after this point so I didn't take any more photos,

This means that you've started enjoying yourself. You're not up there to take photos. :)

Thought so. It's the same as the Viking TX.1 flown by air cadets in this country. Check out EGNX's sig. http://www.643vgs.org.uk/

Welcome (for the third time) to the world of gliding. I've been up nearly 50 times now and I've not had a flight that i've not enjoyed.

Great shots.
