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 ..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

Skip and I met Paul and Bruce at Lake Suzy . It was clear with light breeze. There were occasional puffs. We put Skipper in Paul’s rig and they took off. The grass was a bit long and really wet. The spray behind Paul as he was running up was very impressive. Wanting to catch up and start shooting video…. I was in a hurry. The wing came up fast and I went to full power right away. Big mistake… I got some lift from a puff and (as she’s apt to do) the rig turned to the left. I came down out of line and rolled the rig. The cage was bent and one blade was broken. It was very disappointing but seein ..read more

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 ..read more
