T2C: First Flight(s)

Dad and I drove to Modesto to pick up my new T2C, then high-tailed it back to the Bay Area for some flying at Funston...the conditions were perfect even with some fairly congested skies.

I got my wing set up and dialed-in with the correct hang-strap, then pre-flighted it for it's first flight.

Mom and me...

After making sure the hang-strap worked with the new glider, I was ready to go...

Finally, it was go time...

...more go time!

My "Flamer" T2C with a UP Predator "Star"...cool sail designs.

The new bird performs better than my prior T2. It feels slightly stiffer in the air, but very manageable. The glider inspires confidence and is a joy to fly...it also looks cool!
