Rough rides to cloud base and beyond


So, taking it out in the bigger skies. Rough and rugged air, but the baby stayed together! My mates were taking big hits on the first climb out, but my R10 seemed to ride them all. Flexing, twisting and bending as the climb got quicker and rougher, but she didn't blow out and that's all I can ask.

Four take offs, four climbs up to cloud base and four very long glides out into the valley. I thought we were never going to come down! With four decent landings, I was happy to fold her carefully away, ready for our next flights in a few days time.
