Month: August 2023

Very nice morning at Lake Suzy with Paul Czarnecki. We didn’t launch until 8:20. The winds were very light and swinging 180 degrees. Paul launched into the wind and I launched with it abaft the beam. We climbed to 1500ft and danced for 30 minutes. The video wasn’t worth messing with because we were too far away from each other.

I routed my braked lines through the second pulley which shortened them and made the 2-d steering much better.

Another beautiful Summer morning. Warm with light ground fog.

I’m contemplating shortening the brake lines because I’m seeing quiet a bit of slack compared to the WST line. I cannot really activate the brakes without also pulling the WST and I think they should active by pushing my arms out horizontally. I might give the current importer a call to talk about it after a little research. I think I’ll start with 3 inches and possibly end up shortening them by as much as 8 inches.

This is the first time I’ve seen wildlife (both deer and wild hogsj since the hurricane. I’m sure it’s mostly because I’ve been flying lower but it could be that there are more animals around.

Great mornings! Calm and Drama Free…
