2nd flight on Aspen 3, 108km

I have finally had a chance to fly the Aspen3 myself and what a great wing. Lighter handling than the Aspen 2, faster trim speed and better glide. The speed bar is also light and very useable. On 22nd April I managed to get away from Golden Ball (Thames Valley) and landed over 4 hours later just north of Milton Keynes for a straight line flight of 106.2km. The Aspen 3 does not have the 'flying on rails' feel of the XC2 but the passive stability made it a much more relaxing flight.
