Anyone know how you can find out in advance when/if/wotif they are gonna have a go as I would like to get out & have a look-see

Looks like a bit of a Kock up if you ask me!

At least when we stack we can (hopefully) let go of the kit.

Must have been a wild ride, respect to them.

Great to see them have a go!

When you see a moth come off the foils they tend to do a nose dive thingy - I wonder if it was the same sort of thing that caused the catapult?
