New Ceres with RDS

It's here, it's perfect; I love it.

Just have to scramble to get it ready for La Muela...

At last some flying!

Spent a splendid few hours on Mickey's flying the Ceres and Kyril head to head.  The Kyril is a knife, the Ceres is a sledgehammer.  They are both very effective...!

UK VR Qualifier

What an excellent two days on the Wrecker in 25mph+ north easterlies. There was some variation but only a few seconds, which compares well with to 15+ seconds on smaller hills in less wind.

The outcome gives the UK two excellent three man teams, both of which are capable of mounting serious challenges for top spots.

Both days were really hard work but everyone pitched in to make it very slick. Thanks to Andrzej who took a brilliant gamble on the weather and CD'd the whole two days, Joel who kept the buzzer men ticking over and Steve who extracted cash from all and sundry.

Baudis' models featured heavily in the results. The Cyril (Kyril) was looking very potent in the hands of Pete Gunning, prompting Joel to switch to his largely untried version. I'd only had two outings on mine so I started with the Ceres but as things were going rather well I spent the last three rounds starting to rig the Kyril but never got passed taking the covers off as buzzing, launching and generally being busy kept getting in the way.

The Extreme was also looking rather impressive and young Smork kept knocking on the team door with his but the weather gods kept throwing a few curve balls his way. Team Manager perhaps, with Vic as the ambassador...

All in all a better two days you can't imagine.
