Evening flight at Big Collin

After a windy day with some rain it looked like things had died down so I headed out to Big Collin around 7pm, mainly to have a look at the demo Skyman Cross Country L that Simon Murphy had arranged for Skyman to send after a customer had expressed an interest. Unfortunately when the wing arrived, that customer had already bought another wing and hadn't told me! Ah well!

The wind on the Collin was struggling to reach 8mph from the South. I rang Alastair McMaster to see if he fancied an evening paramotor flight. He arrived inside half an hour and watched as I flew the Skyman. The wing is very light with few lines and narrow risers. Reverse inflation in the light wind was so easy - it just floated up and sat there overhead..
