New wing. Swing Cirrus 3, under 10 hours flight hours for 550 Euros - from Baris. I'm a lucky man. It's a medium and I'm at the max of the weight range, exceeding it by 3kg when I'm kitted up for xc. And it's a 2/3 (on bar), much faster than my Gangster with a much better glide. The Gangster was a large (100-120kg) and I was at the bottom of the weight range all up. So this is going to be fun. Ground handling today - it feels great. Lots more control. Off to Golbasi for some flying on it this weekend if the weather is good. I can't wait to get back to Babadag and have another shot at flying across the valley to dad's house. Hopefully at some point I'll be able to afford a motor and I'll use that with the Gangster.
