Who wants a floater? Rich had brought out a Target and persuaded Icaro to let me take out a Relax for him. My opinion, FWIW: the Relax was a very cute machine. The Target flops and looks like a PG on a frame. And flies a bit like one too. I only did one sled ride on each, but the Relax is a just what an aspiring pilot should look for - direct, easy to fly and land, very nice. comment [] 11:20:29 AM     I met someone who reads my Blog! Should say hello to the lads from Dublin who were suffering the same weather as us in France. Wow! They'd read my blog! Must say we had good value for our money out there in the landing field. Hey guys, remember to flare. Three uprights in a day gets expensive, right? comment [] 11:17:40 AM     A week in Annecy 5 days in Annecy and it wasn't awesome. Pity. Total flying: 3 top to bottoms, one 30 min scratching under an inversion layer, and one hour when I got 300m above TO - at least only me and Phil and a few paras made it, so given the conditions it was a good flight. But those awesome conditions just weren't there, blown away by South and East winds. Pity.comment [] 11:14:25 AM
