Blackheath presented a bright white field under a gloomy sky. The breeze was slight but remained steady between 10:30 and 12:30.

    From Felix I learned a lot on how to fly a REV despite the fact we lived in 2 different countries. Felix is the one of the founding members of "The Decorators". Felix is the brain behind the team.
