I managed to get some time in the wind today – a strong wind from South-East onto the shoreline gave descent result despite the lack of hills. Only a small beach but it was clearly giving some lift.
I flew with a 2200mAh LIPO like last time and ~15 minutes of flight drained 523mAh. The motor was on at 99% of the time. If I find a better slope and have a different wind direction I might get some genuine slope soaring without aid of motor.
This is how nice it was and how happy I was
