  • Misty and stormy weather (40-60 km/h) at coast in Brittany. Newertheless, the first flight of ARCUS 8m should have been done in this marvelous county of Finistère/Brittany. Thanks to my brother Peter I, nephew Felix and Laurent for the launch, and special thanks to Gilles Gohier (pilote in the rear) to whom I dedicate this flight. Greetings from France. Music by U137
