Andrzej Tabero has created a great blogspot for posting his news and reports from the Welsh F3F scene.
I have always really enjoyed reading his excellent race reports and I'm stoked that they are in one place now.
http://welsh-f3f.blogspot.com/ is the address.

Wasabi clip from Rhossili
I managed to squeeze out a quick vid of the Wasabi from Rhossili.
Forgot to credit the music to Muse. The song is Showbiz. Hope you enjoy it.

Dorado flown by Roger
Was great to get down to Rhossili for a great morning of flying and catching up with Roger and Andy on Friday. I got a little bit of video from my day out but only of two planes, Rogers Dorado aerobat and my Wasabi. It is amazing how much the cold effects the battery for the video camera.
Here is the clip of Rogers Dorado looking smooth and graceful (mostly).
I had the wrong setting on the camera for the majority of the day, so it looks a bit .... Blue!
Video of my Wasabi coming up later (When I finish it)

A FLIGHT!!!! FINALLY!!!!
I managed to take a break at lunchtime and head down to Southerndown with my trusty Wasabi in tow. I'm really quite fond of this plane and should probably spend some time on giving it a refurbish as it is looking a little tiny bit tatty.
When I got to Southerndown, the 12-15mph SW wind (which would have been absolutely perfect) had morphed itself into a 5 mph SSW wind which was butt-clenchingly light!
I must have either taken my 'brave' pills or was just desperate to fly, because I launched into wind that seagulls were flapping in ........ and flew!
I had a couple of moments where I needed to decide quickly to land and managed to do so successfully!
In hindsight, I probably should have turned right at the top of my road instead of left and headed to the Back of the Wrecker for more lift and to catch up with the guys getting ready for the SWSA Woolybacks F3F tomorrow. It would have been great to catch up. Maybe I can escape for an hour or so today to say G'day.
Anyway, I managed to get some video today. Enjoy!

Great Video from Chris Studley
I can't believe I haven't put this video on my blog before now!
It is probably my favourite sloping video of all time (so far) and it isn't just because I am in it with my Skorp. It represents one of the best days I have ever had on the slope, hanging with my mates in beautiful scenery with silky-smooth lift and gorgeopus sunshine. AND it's all 20 minutes drive from home!
How did I think I would ever be able to stop slope soaring????
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
