Too bloody right i do, i bought my new 600 and i still aint got the thing up, between torrential rain and weeks of hurricane force winds. Sad times just when i thought it was going too be good weather again, BOOM gale! It only nighttime that it seems to be decent , next purchase nightflying blades and LED's

[Mslater]

Its not made much difference to me, Snow, Wind, Rain Dark - still flying

Noticed how light it is in the mornings already? light at 07.30, dark by 17.30 - what the use is that!

Autumnal equinox (equal day and night) 23 of september. We changed to daylight robbery time 31st October - more than a month after the equinox.

Spring equinox 20th march, but we don't get our robbed hour back until 4 days after that!

Thats a whole month and 4 days later than it should be!
If we changed to summer time 4 days before the spring equinox then we would have exactly the same light conditions at the same time as we had when we lost the hour in October last year.

Nobody can explain to me why the hour change is delayed to so late in the spring!

In the autumn before the hpour changes the chance to fly after work is already pretty squeezed. But now we arre all frustrated waiting for the hour to change, and on the very first day we get it we will be able to fly until after 8.00 pm on a nice day.
I'd like to be flying, or doing many other things outside in the evening, already please!


Unfortumately there is little chance of a correction to the dates as they are all internationally agreed so the countries that change do it at the same time. Better chance to do without the change completely, or go to double summer time - like they did to increase productivity and morale during the war.
