What a beautiful looking aircraft, it must be fun to fly.

 

I liked the 'lunch bag' strapped to the side, ideal for those long distance flights unless it held bird seed for your fellow fliers.

 

Do you have a formation flying endorsement?

That 'lunch bag' looks a lot like a paraglider/hang glider reserve :)

Yeah, looked like you were about to suffer a birdstrike from BEHIND

L/D is a bit over 10:1, sink rate is about 220 feet/min and stall speed is 20 mph indicated.

 

Usually have to wipe the bugs off the trailing edge where they have run into me from behind :)

 

Thermals nicely with no vices...and yes, it's a lot of fun to fly!
