Flying With Karl

Postby Trikenut » Sun Aug 02, 2009 12:44 pm

Hi Guys,
I went flying with Karl (extra300s) this morning. It was great! vhpy vhpy
We flew down to Morningstar and another airfield. We flew with a balloon in the Altona area. On landing at Morningstar there was a big crosswind and it was a fight all the way down. No one was there, except for 2 people. Where were all you okes? ##
I found that by watching Karl fly I could see things that I should try do.
Quite a few trikes in the air, one or two had VERY bad radios though...
Thanks for the flight Karl!! vhpy vhpy
Cheers,
Ross
