I was a little apprehensive flying with the Skydiving gang this morning. It turned out to be a non event with only two under fabric. I launched about 10 minutes after the jumpers and spotted them two and a half minutes into the flight. Because I thought these two had jumped low and more were coming, I stayed low and away from the LZ. The air was still at the surface and about 10 mph from the East above 200ft. Tomorrow looks to be similar. I’ll be there. Smooth as butter ..read more

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 ..read more

Short but sweet. Forecast was for 7 mph at dawn building to 9 mph at 9am. The reality was , calm at the surface with a steady 20+mph that held above 1000 ft. I was downwind the entire flight and was barely able to make headway in full reflex. When it became apparent that I wouldn’t be able to penetrate at a safe altitude I descended to 200 ft , pulled in trims and landed hot. The videos were good on all three cameras. The selfie stick was the most interesting because it was apparent from the look on my face that I was somewhat concerned about getting back to the field. I was happy to see that ..read more
