Don’t know why, but I’ve got lazy with the blog. Probably due to use of twitter/goatchurch for quickly reporting things, which then lets me get on with what I’m doing.

Also, code gets done at github/goatchurchprime and github/Future-Hangglider.

Then I was in France and, after a couple of crashes on takeoff which took out my higher performance glider during a training week, I won the sports class on my old Sport2 that someone had driven out from Liverpool at short notice.

There continues to be a good deal of wholly ineffective data-logging from hang-gliders and stuff like that. I’ve been trying to learn to do something with FreeCAD, Blender, and Dales. It seems impossible to catch up, even if you don’t do anything new. And you’ve got to catch up or you can’t do anything new.

I still feel good watching this video Becka took in France during the competition being talked off the hill by the lovely JB on what became my best flight of the year. The eventual destination was beyond the hills on the horizon to my left. You can see my mind focussing.
