Saturday at Dishforth was a Borderline no fly day due to the wind which was gusting to 26mph! What a contrast to the previous week when runway temperatures were in the mid 30 degrees!
We elected to fly from the North South runway which gives plenty of space to allow for swing on take-off and extended downwind finals.
6 members along with 2 prospective members flew today, all power as the conditions weren’t the best for thermal soaring.
Not many flights were recorded due to the breeze, and all but one had a fly, it was still a worthwhile exercise as a social gathering and the banter was great fun.
Landings were becoming a bit precarious as the wind speed increased, and it was decided that in the interest of safety (and the risk of breaking a model) we’d end flying at about 2pm.
