Very gusty wind....but we flew anyway
The EF got buffeted around quite a bit and landing was quite challenging.
At one stage high above my Electrical tower I was blown into a quite involuntary violent double loop and roll
it really was spectacular to see.
I recovered ok but it did give me a bit of a scare at the time.
We also saw our friend on the motorbike again. He was alone and just sitting on his front brake
and cutting up the ground with his rear wheel.
Luckily it was the other side of the creek. Kev decided to take a walk over to have a chat and when
this bloke saw him coming he sped off like a startled hare.
We should watch out for him. He has a blue/white helmet, dark riding gear and what appears to be the
number 11 on his back. He headed off in the direction of Mimosa St on the far side of the field.
We left the field around 2pm and he hadn't come back.
Of course later the afternoon the wind disappeared and probably turned into good flying conditions. :roll:
