Morning flight with the Zenith

Posted on May 28, 2012 in Maren Ludwig   

Got a nice motor flight in this morning just a little ways inland from the coast. Really pretty flying over all these yellow patches with the scotch broom blooming bright yellow.

Launching the Zenith with a little wind is such a piece of cake, you almost don’t feel it’s there. I love it! With the low hang points you can feel the glider so well while running. We hauled the unit out mostly, but not completely taken apart, with cage and spars disconnected, but the gas tank still connected. This made it really easy to transport it in the back of the Element and we didn’t have to worry about disconnecting/ reconnecting the gas hose. It took us about 5 minutes to put it together and three minutes to take it apart again after the flight. Nice!!!

Unfortunately we forgot the camera and only had a Go Pro along and didn’t get any good footage with that. Tomorrow and Sunday we’ll be busy with students, but Monday we’ll get to play with the motors some more and will work on some nice pics.
