Month: March 2024

Impromptu flight. I awoke at 5 and the conditions were perfect.

No Drama except for some serious sink below 200 feet.

Lovely morning.

A minor milestone but

I have flown the last four mornings and I can’t remember the last time I did that. Again no drama. Beautiful conditions and smooth air.

Three mornings in a row out at the meadows.

No Drama ….

1197 was not documented. First flight in a month.

No Drama

1198

The launch was slightly technical with a crosswind and swale to windward. I took extra time laying out the wing… It came up high to right, as expected,I corrected with right brake, turned down the runway and came up clean. Felt good…

There was a bumpy layer between 200 and 400 feet. I almost turned back but flew into clear air before cutting the flight short.

No Drama… The winds were steady from the east and increased with altitude.

It’s been too long , a combination of cold mornings and a big trip have kept me grounded.
