Icon landing
11 Deg C at 9 in the morning, I got in a couple flights. The grass is still green but I was disappointed with the lack of lift.
Wind also changed within the hr from South -West to westerly.. I reckon it’s on it’s way to northerly, and a little cooler..
I’ll wait till a little later and change the Hi-Start around.
1 PM I moved the Hi Start around, launching towards south west, got in two flights of 4 minutes, skies are completely overcast at this point

Had a great 10 minute flight with the Icon today. I am very fortunate too have some ridge lift areas here on these cooler October day..
I reckon the temperature was around 10 Deg C and the breeze was under 10 km/h..
I’m gonna move the tow hook a little forward though to see If I can straighten out my launches a little, I’m a little close to the ragged edge as I ride this beauty up the line
Once I have this detail ironed out , flight times of 30 minutes should be achievable quite easily.

I launched the Icon later , 5 launches they all went well and it flies like a dream
I’ll have to get a AUW on it as well I hope it’s under 70 oz..
