The Wednesday regulars turned up to help Colin and the sorcerers apprentice
rig the K8 and Zugvogel. All went well but the Zugogel elevator linkage was a
tad fiddly to say the least!
Colin then finished the CofA and ARC for both aircraft which are
now ready for test flying. A huge thank you to Colin and Dave for all their hard
work getting these single seaters ready for flying.

Whilst the weather was great
with no wind and a lot of sun with high clouds the airfield was just too wet to
fly. In addition the ruts across the middle of the airfield really need sorting
as soon as the field dries enough.
As can be seen from these pictures you wouldn't want to cross these tracks
with a glider. The field is currently too wet to roll them hopefully in a few
days the soil will firm up enough for us to do some remedial work.
