A quick and dirty video, with some creative commons music;

It turned out to be a sunny and nice day, but the wind was NE and a bit strong for good flying conditions. It would be turbulent leeside, and not very safe for competition flying.

I spent the easter in Bassano, I did not write much here on the blog as the internet connection [...]
