Flight #1224

Nice flight .

Climbed to 5100 ft AGL and enjoyed the chill… until I didn’t. No Drama. WTS toggle line was a little conflicted which caused a slight pull to the left on take-off but not enough to abort. As soon as I was up and climbing I sorted it out.

The Saharan sand plume has mostly moved on and tomorrow is a possibility depending on if Skip and I are going to church.

Flight #1217

Deceptive … It was dead calm at the surface and blowing 15 above 50ft. I was surprised to be flying 35mph immediately after launch. Conditions were bumpy and getting stronger as I climbed to 900ft. Descending to 350 it mellowed out but over the next 10 minutes the wind continued to build and so I opted to land while the getting was good. No Drama…

Flight # 1215

This was a nice one and the fourth flight this week. There was no Drama and perfectly calm air. The thermal layer was at 150 feet and easily 10 degrees warmer than the surface.

I flew NW to the Walmart Distribution Center and enjoyed the open pastures. The excitement was spotting a Gater in a small pond.

Beautiful day.
