At least the GT450 handles the bumps very well
Can the GT soar ie with engine off in thermals?
Just cam in from Monzi St Lucia

Vryburg reported 41, but feels plenty higher. Tar melting in streets
. Was going to head out this arvie, but possibly sleep on it and fly in the cooler (30deg C) morning.

Had to do some circuit training yesterday at 15:30. The 914 overheated on the second circuit.
Waited till 17:45. Weather was brilliant then - great flying. :D

Some useless info: Heard on the news yesterday, a conference in Washington DC, on global warming, and the effects there of, had to be cancelled.............because of a blistering snow storm.
Traffic was disrupted and representatives couldn't make it to the venue, because of the terrible cold.

Well went out today for a flight and was probably BEST weather I've ever flown in. Perfectly still, one up although I didn't notice my water temp was like two up. Other than that sheer bliss! Landed close to 7pm.

Well I see rain is forecast tonight between 00h00 and 06h00, with highest chance being 03h00
For you Duck lets hope is doesn't rain, for the others lets hope it does, my pool needs topping up
