Should also add that the landing as usual was a doddle. Hope it stays that way, since I've got the definitive answer re: wheels on the FAST bar - since the ZOOM frame fittings are also glued on, can't get wheels on. No problem for the moment.

Worth recording that it also seemed I tuned out the left turn with VG on: now a slight right turn, maybe reduce the sprog by a 1/4 turn (I put a whole turn on to get it to go straight).

There's a noticable difference in the sprog screw. But of course it probably translates to a couple of mm's: and if the cable isn't exactly the same length then I suppose this is a good reason why they need adjusting.

Bit of scratching on Saturday last: set up on Sasso and took off towards the end of a cycle: climbs were quite OK but small and considering I'm still tuning in it was a bit hopeful to think I'd stay up long. Better take off this time (no radical dive) and in fact some decent flying. Turns still not fully coordinated; but I'm sure by next flight I'll start to get it together - just need some more obvious thermal conditions. By the end of this month we'll be there...
