For week, Pierre Jean kept calling me and asked me to come n' have fun at the Salis (a Beach at the Cap d'Antibes) for some Flight!!!

It's been on December 30, that I managed to meet him with my Handsel 2Axis on the Cap's Boulevard.

The wind was blowing, with a speed of Force 3 to 4, but what about the place????

It's very simple in fact: a 5 levels building, a 12m wide road, a sand beach of 30m wide and the Mediterranean Sea in front of Us.

A kicking launch on his Super Handsel, and he already was 10m above us, he turned to the buildingsand got 20m higher, he turned to the sea and faced the wind and got higher and higher.

The flight lasted 15 minutesat an average height of 100m, and almost 200m on the sea.

Pierre Jean finally decided to land his sailplane and launched mine.

The same launch, but directly way to the sea.Yaooo!!

 

That's Fabulous!!!! I discovered a new kind of Sailplane.

To fligh 5 minutes far from home, in such spectacular conditions, is so great! So if you are coming in the French Riviera, send me an E-Mail and come n' try!
