Re: Silent Airshow 04/20/13 at North Mountain Vineyards

Dammit Jesse, I was going to make a 4/20 joke...anyways....launched around 4:20 in relatively lighter cycles than earlier. Easily got several hundred over launch in ridge lift. The bowls were collecting thermals well in the west cross and I ventured out into the valley without anything working reall...

Re: Woodstock Tomorrow? (Wednesday 12/05)

got about 80 minute flight. launched about 20 minutes after John M, it started to lighten up on launch quite a bit but the lift was smooth and fairly strong out front. Generally stayed south of launch, staying 800-1000 over and going down to the Edinburg Gap point got me to 3200', which i got to aga...

Re: Woodstock on Sunday 8/28

sorry to hear about the leg Chuck. Glad you are now fixed and OK!! from thousands of lessons at KHK, i've seen many pilot flare big/early and bring the bar back in. not a good idea. sand is forgiving but it generally results in a epic pile in and sometimes facial/head injury. better leg injury than ...

Re: Road trip! Boone, NC

i am considering heading down there hearing that there is some other pilots making the trek. I flew there in 06 and can attest for it's sheer awesomeness. Going to watch the weather and make a decision closer to the weekend.

Re: 4/17 - 4/18

Showed up around 3:30 to a cold and gusty 15-20 in the slot and three pilots soaring. Got set up and heard Bacil got thrashed around so waited. winds backed off a touch just after 5pm, so gave it a go. Got up 700 feet over the ridge quickly and hooked into a boomer to 3k over but back down quickly i...

Re: 2 point vs. 3 point tow

if you have ever tried to pro tow any slow glider (single surface, 11m pulse, large sonic, etc) it is do-able, but really uncomfortable and can take ALOT of muscle to pull off, especially when it's rowdy. Generally it's not a pleasurable experience. I towed my 11m pulse midday in big spring in tx an...

Re: Kitty Hawk Kites - No More?

well the word through the KHK grapevine of retired instructors is that KHK is moving the towing operation to a private field about 25 minutes closer to the beach. The new field is not an airport, just a big field, and wouldn't have other traffic to deal with, and is larger and on the main road and w...
