| Flight details: | Tricky staying up around launch. Very tricky getting up and away. Pretty tricky for the first 25km. Much easier for the next 80km. Tricky again for the last bit. Hence we landed! I may get round to doing a more detailed write-up as this was one of the most wonderful and amazing flights I've ever had! Carlo :D |
