Friday flying (and top landing)
Posted: Fri Feb 27, 2009 7:27 pmBen, Jonh G and I stopped on our way to launch today and put up some streamers at the wide spot in the road a couple miles below launch. It's the spot where I'm told Trampeneu use to test fly gliders from when Eliminator was socked in.
I launched first and was sledding until I got to the "top landing" spot. Slight tail on landing, but it's up hill and I was able to put my Falcon down OK.
Little John was king of the day with a nice little tour around topping out about 3200' and landing well after us.
Ben launched and I re-launched just before he got out to me (behind the antanae farm). We thermalled together shortly before he headed towards the monastary and Parma. I almost got high enough to go over for a second top landing, but not quite.
I'll need to get a couple more pvc tubes to put up some more streamers (there's 2 spots ready).
I think tomorrow will be good. I hope to see everyone out there,

BTW, I'm offering tandems to the public for $200 and will take you or friends at a discounted rate. Call me!
