Had to get out and fly some small planes as sme and Arild had a few minutes leftover.. I flew a small "stick" and Arild flew his edge. Both retired with small damage... But we were out flying!

Seax
Prepared a couple of other wings for the
Seax and headed for some slopeflying on a nearby
slope. Great conditions and had lots of fun
flying aerobatics and high speed passes. These
wings are heavier than the first ones but also
stronger. It is really an easy flying plane and
it reacts very well to lift and sink but so far
does not fall thru in the sink but keeps going.
Kind of funny that it shows the air so damn
well. I have the CG further ahead than Gjermund
and will need some time on the winch now to get
the best out of it.

Goldagan
Stopped by a local airshow nearby and
watched but did not fly as I thought I had flown
enough lately... 30 something pilots had a good
time in nice weather with everything from tiny
ones to big 3,1meters.

Seax
Finally I got my hands on a Seax! On my
way home from WC F3B I picked up some parts and
a few days in work and it was ready. Tor (with a
brand new Perfect) and the designer/producer/seaxman
Gjermund Westad joined me for some flying at my
place and we had a nice day at high altitude
with winches. The model was mostly what I
expected. It needs some fine tuning in launch
and speed flying but is a very balanced and nice
design that have a huge potential. It thermals
with ease and energy in speed is very good.
Gjermund has produced quite a few of them now
and learned a lot on the way. If it wasn't for a
well paid work as airline pilot he might just as
well start producing this model... The one I got
was a early version very light one at 2080g all
up but I also got a couple of stronger wings
that will be fixed as soon as possible. Flying
the model was very easy and Gjermund with a
little help from Norbert Habe have touched some
heavy potential here. The model has some very
cool features though some of them will be
changed a bit when Gjermund starts on a new fuse
this winter hopefully. This will reduce the
weight even more and simplify the production a
whole lot I think. Thanks Gjermund for letting
me check out this tool.'

Seax's
