The Gull has made its first flights today on a beautiful flying day.
Here some photos that my son and I made. Borcuvin will tell the story here soon.

















































































I dare to say it performed flawlessly.
It was a joy to see!

Hello everyone,
To start, thanks a lot Raymond and Jasper for all the beautiful pictures, its so nice that I can just fly and I only hear the sound of the shutter and get those pictures later .

Yes the gull had its maiden today, magnificient weather, a nice wind, sun and we could use another part of the field which on which the grass was really short!
Rob towed me steadily with his new Eco Boomster, giving me confidence all the time . Thats very important on moments like this !

The Gull performed without a hitch, the CG was OK, it glided smoothly, even the brakes did more than I expected. Of course I had to get accustomed to this glider, she has a fairly short tailboom, so it took me some time to keep her level all the time.
On some photo's the is flying as a Gull I with struts and on other photo's as a Gull III or "Cantilever Gull" without struts.

It took a long time of , and finally it was very rewarding to see a model of this old glider silently sailing under the clouds. , .
