Mike - Enjoyed watching the video - which site were you flying at. ?
This sloping business looks good fun, maybe I'll give it a go someday.

The UK summer has finally provided some wind to put the Phase 5 through its paces. Apologies for the wind noise and unedited video clip. I've only just got the video camera and learning how to edit and add a sound track will come later.

That looks like a lot of fun Mike! I really should finish mine :blush: thanks for posting the video, I needed a prod and some motivation :)

Is the camera attached to your cap visor? and what sort of wind speed was the Phase 5 flying in, and what are your impressions now that you've had a good number of flights on it?

I think you need more than a prod!

Yes

It was about 20mph gusting to 30mph - but this is just a guess since I don't own an anemometer.

It flies very nicely and comes alive in stronger winds, so no surprise there. It doesn't appear to have any really nasty habits which makes it relatively easy to fly. Usual slope rules apply...keep it pointed into wind and keep the speed up by pointing the nose down. Manoeuvres that lose speed need to be done with enough height.
