Last of the Summer Flying

This is probably the last of the mid week flying sessions. I took the Pico Jet and the two Sunbeam Trainers to Westonzoyland. The weather was a little windy, about 5 mph gusting to around 10 mph, and 95% cloud. Had two good flights with the PJ, and a flight with the 40 powered Sunbeam, and two flights with the 25 powered Sunbeam with the new wing. (Flaperons and slots). This behaves a bit strangely when flaps are deployed, it seems to become a bit unstable. Some more testing and investigating required I think. It got too dark to fly by 19:15hrs., but there was a beautiful sunset, shining scarlet through a break in the cloud. Dam! I forgot the camera.
