Almost didn’t fly today. It rained pretty hard the night before and I was concerned that the field would be wet. I had to meet Hayden at the Offshore 48 at 9 and a general fatigue. BUT… I WOKE 15 MINUTES BEFORE THE ALARM . So…..
There was a crosswind just above the surface that my windsock didn’t pick up.. The first attempt failed when the wing swung left and didn’t inflate. I dragged it for awhile … no joy. Second attempt was better and in the same direction. The wing was wet and it lagged a bit but… after some wrangling I was able to get it stable overhead. Once up, I found the flow and adjusted my approach for landing.
It was a good day.
