Finally got a day worthy of knocking the dirt off the Atos...... felt damn good!
Almost thought we had a flyi-in, 17 gliders set up when I launched, more came later.
Wind died off enough later & a few paragliders to get some airtime.

Under dressed & got cold on the first flight. Topland got warm & re-launched

WOW you were under dressed?

What did you need more under layers?

Congrats on the flights...

Yeah about that. The thick stuff softened things up on the 2nd flight.
