Ceres F3B Maiden winching
Channel: Chris Adams
Date: 05/01/2012

Having maidened it off the slope the day before and got basic trims about right it was time to "bung it up the line".

Warm December air, crosswind mostly with the occasional massive boomer moving through. 

Verdict after around 20 launches:
The Ceres is the sort of glider to really push my skills envelope for F3B.

Thermalling is made easier due to significant rudder control; you can turn very tightly using just rudders thus keeping the wing clean.

The JR171s are on flap duty but not for long; they already have drift. Will try the MKS equivalent soon.
