Something very special happened this year high up in the French
Alpes in 2018.

After a longer than expected gestation period, a shiny new Carbon Dragon hatched
out of its egg and took to the air in the skies above Aspres, and oh, what a
glorious creature she is.

This is the first all-carbon composite Carbon Dragon to be built, and it is an
absolute dream to fly - utterly vice less and so much more fun to fly than a
sailplane

I plan to return to Aspres for some serious thermal flying next July/August for
as long as my piggybank holds out.
