Went a flying session at Shellcom Sendai in Sendai, Miyagi on 5&6 May. Max
height of the dome is 51 meters and the ceiling height by FAI method may be
45 meters or so.
I took 4 Std CLGs, 2 UnlimitedCLGs and 1 A-6 into the dome.
After 1&1/2 day flying session, 3 StdCLG and 1 UnlimitedCLG were broken and
1 UnlimitedCLG was hanging on the dome wall (it was retrieved at the end).
Best time of my StdCLG was 109 secs and best 2/9 was 109+107= 3mins 36secs.
It may not be a good times for expert CLG flyers, but I am very satisfied
with it. Because it was my first experience to fly CLGs at high ceiling. The
glide was soooo beautiful !
I flew A-6 4 flights and the best time was 11mins 08secs (the time may not
be correct because my data notebook is in Ishii's car now). It was heavy
rain outdoor and the air inside was wet and drifty. The model climbed about
40 meters at the best time flight.
Good flying, Aki
