Looks like Anthony and me for Taylor's around noon.

The forecast for Taylor's hill looks good for Saturday. I won't be able to get there until 11:30-12.
Anybody interested?

Feb 6 at Smithsbut has gusts up to 22 and pretty chilly. Taylor's is light W/SW and warmer temps.

Nice day five gliders, seven people flew, Mark got six flights. It was L&V most of the afternoon, but some good cycles. I think Anthony had a student make his first flight.

Six pilots showed up, only three prepared to fly.
Tom, Charley, and Anthony took off through the afternoon about an hour apart.
All had clean launches and soared for over an hour. When I left around 6 PM, Anthony was still boating around in what looked like smooth evening lift.

Lots of north cross at Smithsburg in the afternoon, but I got a couple of flights off.

Taylor's is looking more south than SW. I'm going to bail.

I'm curious about how Smithsburg worked out on Saturday. The forecast for I saw looked pretty ugly.
Taylor' on Sunday looks more my style, SW at less than 10mph all day.

I'm shooting for Taylors' around 11ish.

Having missed the last two weekends, I'm still looking for a good day on the hill.
Anybody else up for Friday or Saturday?

Also, did anyone find my black 'Freefligh Foundation' jacket at Taylor's?

I'll be there noonish...

I'm up for Taylor tomorrow.

Eric,

Do you still have your HES Cocoon?
If so what size is it?

I'm on for Smithsburg, expect to arrive around 11 AM.

I'm interested in flying Smithsburg, but I won't know until Saturday if I'm available.
Also, I let my USHPA membership expire for three years and all my ratings expired, so I need to talk to someone about getting some signoffs.

Gone.

Get a slotted optical detector like an OPB990 (search DigiKey.com). put a tab (or two) on the anemometer so that it passes through the slot in the optical detector. The tab should be long enough so that the detector slot is blocked for half of the rotation, i.e. you want a square wave output form th...

I just looked at XC Skies (12:30 AM). Around McConnelsburg it shows the 2000ft winds NW and increasing through the day 10kt at 9AM, 12kt at noon, 16 at 3PM. Cloud cover is around 30% early in the day increasing to 50% by 3PM, all high level stuff. Ridgely looks like 40-50% cloud cover all day with a...

I've got a harness that will fit Janni. I'll throw it in the truck.
