Bruntingthorpe

Hi Silsoe,

We had plenty of time to experiment try various positions - the thing snagged during backtrack if you remember. I had a still cameraman and a video cameraman both giving me various up, down, forward, back, left right instructions right up to the wire.

we were also out of wind.

My view is that a low time 44 pilot should make a reasonable job of staying within the parameters discussed, especially if the wind is on your nose.

Obviously, a more sophisticated and expensive machine will be preferable.

How much profit do you want to make in completing the task described though?

I have already seen some of the images from Bruntingthorpe. Pin sharp and just awesome.

Jack
