The Sky Taranis TX

I have had two problems with mine: I broke a switch and pushed too hard on the input buttons dislodging the button assembly.
A new switch and a couple of spots of glue and it was fixed, it very easy to take apart and looked good inside

Slope soaring

Monday

Steady SW with strong lift at Frocester this afternoon. I only took my Fusion and had a good hour between showers. There was some challenging turbulence further off to the left of the slope

Tuesday  

Wednesday

A stiff breeze at Haresfield this afternoon. Loads of lift and some strong gusts, but fun to fly my Fusion. I even managed to have a bit of fun with my spad Flik.
TIm was there too, with his centered Zagi. It flew well, it does seem to be a better stabilizer than the wing tip fins.
