Leprechaun. Flying in 12-14 mph winds slightly across the slope.

My old Leprechaun was getting a bit tatty and in need of some minor repairs, so I decided to give it a complete re-cover. Flight conditions weren’t ideal, however I was keen to re-maiden it. The wind was quite strong (for this lightly loaded glider) blowing slightly across the slope, producing a bit of turbulence. You can often see it flying with a pronounced nose down-down attitude in an effort to penetrate and keep flying forwards.
