    Reminds me how I was once admonished by an ex-RAF chap in our club when my glider wasn't doing much one winter day. He flew Meteors in the 1950s and told me in no uncertain terms that "there are thermals every day of the year!".

    Flew dad's old Electric Kitten yesterday. He flew it a lot and I was surprised how much fun it was on a still, crispy day. More agile than you'd expect for rudder/elevator and it's uber light, so catching a bit of warm rising air shouldn't be out of the question in due course too.

    Sorry to see that Brian, looks like it was sudden, so it didn’t suffer at all 😉

    A crisp but calm morning enticed my mate Tony and I out. He's getting into CL, so flew his leccy model and I gave the aileron Sleeker its first flights. Sleeker was really nice (sorry Phil G 😉). Tony was doing well until he tried a loop, but it should be easy to repair... 😁

    Ok I've had a reply from the tech' guy.... Speaking personally I can't see a the icon size is so terrible, looks like we'll just have to live with that anyway. Cookie icon on mobile devices "I can’t change the size of this unfortunately, I can change the position from left to right, but that’s about all the customisation options we have. Below is an example of it on an iPhone SE sizes screen which is inline with my Galaxy. There may be some smaller or older phones where the resolution is lower so the icon appears larger. If the consent revisit floating icon was removed users couldn’t change their preferences after accepting/rejecting. Videos The notice on embedded content, such as YouTube videos will appear if Cookie aren’t accepted. When YouTube embeds are put into posts, Google sets a cookie, if that cookie isn’t accepted via our Cookie Consent notice, the video won’t play and YouTube puts the notice up to say cookies need to be accepted. If there’s any users who have accepted all cookies that are still getting the notice, please send me a link to the page they are having issues with. It could be a cookie not categorised properly, or they may be using a browser with ad blocking add-ons running that is disallowing cookies, but I’d need to run some tests."

    I've just gone with an aileron wing too OZ e, and dropped the dihedral a bit in the process like you.

    Good, well it's all sorted now and the pop-up box is working correctly (once) on website and forum. Thanks everyone for your forbearance.

    The river at the bottom of our flying field was up today, so the floats came out of course. 🙂

    The tech response I've rec'd is... "We have implemented Cookie consent module that appeared to be blocking something that was required, there's an issue with it not remembering peoples selections that I'm waiting for a response from the vendors support on." That must be the little blue disc that's now appearing bottom left. Hopefully just a short term niggle.

    Yep, kicked off this year’s campaign at the hill, it was chilly but not too bad and dry at least. Four flyers in all, I took the Lentus and Alan re-maidened a 30 year old Grunau Baby he rediscovered in his roof recently.
