Phil Lardner's Carbon Dragon Project - 1st High Flight at Aspres-sur-Buëch - 22nd August 2018

Ok, here's my first high flight on aero-tow, to 2600m amsl (the airfield is at 830m amsl). Take-off was at around 07:30 so as to ensure absolutely smooth air and no wind for my first tow in ages... which meant an Oh-five-hundred wake-up alarm. What does the 'Oh' stand for? Oh my god, that's early!! :-) Yes, yes, the video is only marginally more interesting than watching paint dry, but there are a couple of moments of excitement! ;-) Feel free to fast forward through the boring bits! Enjoy, Phil.
