Good weather for flights during the morning with the wind picking up later in the day.
There were 16 flights in total: A x 3, B x 1, C x 3, D x 4, F x 1, G x 2, H X 2
Highlights for the day were:
Rowland Noakes flying his two stage Rip Roar on a D12-0 + D12-3 to 200m
Dual award winner was Matt Rolley flying Valkyrie on a Contrail H222 to win the scalded cat and core sample of the month awards. On the plus side, Matt is closing in on perfecting the ground based hardware for hybrid motor launches.
Congratulations to Kieran Wagstaff on achieving his L1 certification flying LIVZ on a H10 to 200ft.
See you next month!

Awesome day despite the wind picking up. Was great to see quite a few people interested in hybrids and I had some great discussions, So I might start a thread with some more information covering common themes etc. Although I most likely won't be able to attend the September launch day, I'm hoping to have the ground support completed by then in case anyone else needs it for hybrid. I'm stoked that I was able to demonstrate what a full hybrid flight looks like, it was extremely cool!
