It was an absolutely beautiful morning, crisp and clear with some high cloud and just a hint of breeze. I ended up going to my back-up field a few kilometres away so it will be interesting to see the video of it.
It's a nice open space, and of course the blue sky and bright morning sunlight made it a visual treat. Virtually no wind meant that the Walrus could fly straight and true so that, after a while, I was confident enough to fly a few big, slow loops and some barrel rolls. The agility of the craft is quite surprising and, giving it a bit of a run-up, will climb vertically for a surprisingly long time.
The only obstacles are some trees at the perimeter and some tall nets, fortunately I managed to avoid all of them and, after a generous flight, came in for a nice slow approach over the fence and settled in for what must be the best landing I've managed in the Walrus so far...
