Saturday 14th Jan 2012 - first flight of the new year for me (and the best flight I've had so far) from Bethel to Newborough and back with Pete Jones. Newborough is one of my favourite places - beautiful beaches and the snowdonia mountains as a back-drop - stunning. The music is from an album called Vaccine by Younger Brother. Hope there arn't any youtube copyright issues because it goes well with the flying! Steve

Amazing video Steve! Nice flying from A to Z. I also really like position of the camera. Thank you for sharing with us.
@sjm708 I am having a little break from flying due to work abroad,but in 3 months time I will be in the air as much as possible.Cant wait.So video like this feeds me enough to survive this winter time without my wing:) I am looking forward to see your next vids in future.take care. Erik
nice one bet your enjoying the freedom now well done
@orihelnr Hope the work abroad goes well and your wing isn't too lonely back home :-( All the best and looking forward to seeing some flying vids when you get back. Steve
@orihelnr Thanks Erik - hope all is well with you and you're getting loads of flying in too. The weather here in the UK has been too windy for flying for such a long time so it was great to finally get out in some nice weather last weekend and have some fun! All the best, Steve
Just joking Dave. Looks gorgeous, and agreed, music better than two stroke. Landing looked hot, stayed on your feet thou!
@arenalife Thanks Glyn - hope you get a day in soon. Windspeed averaged around 10mph - bit windier higher up and along the beach, but a bit calmer back in land and low down. We were up and down a lot so always adjusting the throttle accordingly. I'm on the middle hangpoint hole - easy to take off/land and cruises at around 26-27mph airspeed comfortably (according to my flight trace), might try it forward at some point. Pete had his camera too so looking forward to his film of the flight!
@TheRidgehog Thanks John, Saturdays flight was fantastic - Newborough is a place I've always loved visiting so it was a real privilege to fly over there - looked even better from the air! Great start to 2012. Shame flight 2 of 2012 wasn't so good (throttle temporarily stuck open, snapped kick start rope on an practice outlanding and exhaust manifold bolt came undone!). Got back to the field in one piece but very noisily - I'll post the vid of that later this week) cheers, Steve
@sjm708 Thank you Steve. All goes well I would of said..I will def put videos of my flying .:) wish u all the best. Erik
@lazarou123 PHIL COLLINS!!! You cheeky sod mark. Thought it would make a change from the usual radne raket two stroke engine soundtrack!
This is amzing, where abouts do you live. I live in Amlwch at the top of anglesey. great job on the video and editing :)
@BluntNews Many thanks for the comments - I've pm'd you some details. Cheers, Steve
Awesome Steve, one of the best flphg vids on here. I had the wing on the car on Sat but it closed in and blew out. What windspeed were you flying in? What throttle level did you need in the cruise? What hangpoint hole are you on? Is Pete posting a vid too? What's the price of fish? haha. Nice one.
Nice video, not liking Phil Collins soundtrack though.
