A very poor week for slope flying, I could not face the strong easterly winds

Slope Flying  

 Monday     

Tuesday
Wednesday
  
Thursday
 Friday

Minchinhampton was good this afternoon, the wind was light with plenty of lift
The AVAs went well finding lift in most of the time, thermal lift was light but smooth, I only got above 1000ft once

 Saturday   
Strong lift at Haresfield, there were a few small snow flakes blowing about as I left mid afternoon

Sunday

I took my AVA to Lesley in the afternoon and failed to find lift, there was enough slope lift to stay airborne, but the thermals were so weak I only reached 90ft

ROBBE ASW24 with airbrakes, retract, aerotow release and all servos. The glider has only ever been hand launched to check the trim, so is in new condition.

SPECIFICATION
Wing span 3.5m; Length 1.54m; Weight 3500g
Servos - Aileron 2, Elevator 1, Rudder 1, Air brake 1, Retract Wheel 1 and Aerotow release 1. No receiver. It was built for the Fleet radio system but I understand that a Futaba Tx will work. The fuselage is moulded HD plastic of some kind. The wings are veneered foam as is the tailplane. It is in good order but will need to be checked over. A snip at my asking price of £150
