Well somewhere near that either a bit above or a bit below! Knowing it was a bit easty we went to Carbis with the hope of finishing of some hill conversions but on arrival although flyable it was on and off and up and down seeing some pilots not quite making it over the fence and some wishing they had not!
Still there were flyable slots and I decided to get the Delta out in the breezier one and give it a go. Having sorted the ground handling technique nicely now the glider is a joy and its performance edge showed both in sink rate and glide as it lifted me well above the other gliders in the air allowing use of the sea thermals to take me up to around the 1000' mark. The ability to move around from there meant I could "chase" the gulls to the right spot and enjoy a very pleasant and fum 30 minutes before the cold got the better of me.
Having always been very hesitant of higher performance Paragliders the Delta gives me the confidence to spend more time on it and look forward to getting in an XC soon. Call if you want a go, but you may just fall in love with it.........
Rush 3's due end of March inc' medium demo other sizes to follow when released.
