A Close Shave

...the phoenix almost bought the farm again

I flew again this morning at the local sports field, however this time I had a nasty scare on launch.



Despite dozens of launches without issue, this time the left stick got caught in the sleeve of my jumper as I launched the glider, with the result that the Phoenix 2000 had left rudder and down elevator as I threw it...

Previously this would have spelled disaster, however this time I managed to recover, although it wasn't pretty...
