successful maiden of Tracer!

Because of lots of overhours I have I decided to go to the airfield this morning before driving to the office.

As I got no settings for the Tracer everything is a bit more thrilling than other maidens.

3 hand launches - 3 times more lead, then lay out the 15m rubber and 60m rope (airfileld is only 120m), breathe deeply - launch - straightaway up - releasing towline - a bit tail heavy - very precise to pilot

4 more high starts with some minor adjustments.

So it was a successful maiden of the Tracer :-)!

Tracer flys great, but seems to be not a very fast plane...

succesful maiden of Sagitta!

The needed enhancements are done and it was possible to maiden Sagitta today via airplane towing.

The Sagitta flys very good and is quite fast, in spite of the thick airfoil.

I am already in love :-)!
