Whatever you do, do it at your own pace. There`s no shame in going along to the same places and flying frontside - There`s no joy in flying a plane you aren:t very experienced with and wrecking it because of Joneses syndrome.
Remember Jase, the electron is an advanced plane - a huge step up from the bee, and most other planes. By no means are any of us expert DSers, but the majority of us have a lot of experience on the sticks which can be applied to the dark side.

I'd installed Divx but it didn't seem to make any dif. Perhaps I had to open the file using DivX or make it my default viewer, but I uninstalled it anyway. Saw Steve's post and I installed videolan and it worked fine. It views thru Videolan, not thru Media player - is that right?? I don't know anything about this stuff! Anyway those Nick Parker videos were great. I also looked at the Youtube ones Eric mentioned, including the Kevin Newton Viking - very nice! But I reckon Steve (Ding) might say that thing has an adverse yaw problem??

Also I looked at a few of the YouTube videos that Ezza mentioned above. I want to go to Wales! The one of the "Skua on the Wrecker" is an incredible very high, huge steep bowl - we just don't have mountains like that! Great flying too.

They have curvature in all the right places  The lift must be amazing. Apparently all those slopes are right next to eachother and owned by one farmer!! There are some shots and maps(and lots of other good stuff) on Kevin's site; knewt.com/bwlch/thebwlch.htmCheck it out. |
