A couple of great flights at the Belconnen club with the guys up there. I always find it takes me a flight to get my eye in and feel out a new flying place and Belconnen was no exception.
Lovely field with a slight downhill from left to right.
Still have some tail bounce on clockwise piros, but is a lot better than it was.
Loops, rolls, flips, stall turns, inverted rainbows were the order of the day.
Two fligths of eight minutes each
