Mark,

No worries, I did not take it as such! It was more from the
perspective to understand how the air developed during the day in
these conditions. Also to learn from it.

Yes, we have a fair amount of junior flyers here in the netherlands
and in our club specifically. Also keep in mind that the flyers from
the UK greatly impressed and inspired these juniors and youngsters as
well! Be it scale or duration! I am already being bombarded with
drawings by email to ask if they can built this or that. So expect
some heavier resistance in the future! ;-)

Regards,
Roel
