..... and at the weekend the field was covered in a crisp even 4" of snow.

There was not a soul about on Saturday, I had the whole field to myself (very unusual).

I hand launched my Zephyr and got 7 flights in before it got dark. This plane is so light it barely made a dent in the snow when it landed (yup, even with my landings )

On Sunday there were quite a few people at the field and two 72" Lazy Bees turned up complete with vintage style floats. These floats work very well.

One person just took the gear off their plane, hand launched it and belly landed it.
