What a turn up yesterday! 8 hang gliders and 6 Paragliders! It was amazing!

Bacil called at 12:50 PM, told me he was at launch, cycles were nice and that he didn't bring his glider and he would be happy to help/assist on all fronts (from launch to retrieve and most importantly hang out with my kids). So, around 1PM I decided and told Bacil my ETA would be just after 3 PM. R...

Looks like a perfect Daniel's day.

Woodstock delivered for sure! I got to launch at 3PM and after unloading the glider helped Bacil launch. It was blowing between 10-15mph and Bacil had a smooth launch. After that I setup and launched, just when I was launching I saw Bacil heading towards the LZ. I launched at 4PM in +15 mph winds cl...

Looking at a late afternoon flight at Woodstock this coming Friday. The FC so far looks good.

This Sunday looks just like last Sunday a little colder and a little less windier for Woodstock.

The FC seems to be holding rather has gotten a bit better for Daniel's. Looks pretty solid, anyone interested?

Looks like this coming Saturday we might have south winds again. Hopefully the forecast would improve as we get closer to the weekend

It's early but looks like a sure shot Daniel's day.

I'm in for both days. Already posted it 2 days ago

Both days looks flyable. Sunday being the better day, I plan to go both days. Really far out but at least something to look forward to

That looks like a nice bailout field. Noticed a baseball field next to it as well.

I was expecting a top landing in the track

Time to get the discus out then?

Bacil quit the WhatsApp group a while back Walt. PP or WS all sites are working. WS was great all day today and looks equally good tomorrow too. Ahhh I want to FLY!

Coming Friday and Saturday (Saturday being the better day) looks good for Edith's Gap again. I know it's too far out but just keep an eye out for it. As that makes planning easier

The GFS model looks amazing for Edith's Gap tomorrow. Just NAM, and Icon have low winds otherwise it looks pretty amazing with top of lift +7K.

Wise words. If I may humbly include importance of "Spot landing"? It's my favorite past time.

That is exactly what was in my mind when I picked up the glider (pre-21 seconds) that "what the hell". As for patience you got to wait for good things right? And again, couldn't have done it without your support! Frankly the landing is "NOT all that" and I earnestly believe, it's...

Below is my Edith's landing clip. Frankly, I don't think it's as difficult as it's made to be. It surely is technical and that's about it. I did an up-slope downwind landing and come below the trees very quickly to avoid the gradient. Please let me know your thoughts "on the video" :) http...

Mark, you have patience of a saint.

Well guys I did it Landed Edith's Gap LZ mid field. Landed downwind but upslope and kind of swooped under the wind gradient so had a perfect flare.

So happy.

Couldn't have done without Mark C. I owe you big time!

Yes, PG'ers fly it all the time, they can't get enough of it I plan to be there by 1-1:30PM at the LZ.

I was thinking the same too and checked Edith's Gap station several times but it never turned on, there was just no wind. Randy went to checkout Edith's Gap in the evening. It was so light that he decided to bag his PG as it wasn't even good for a forward launch. Thursday and then Saturday look prom...

Thanks for the encouraging words John

I shared my track but put together a quick video of yesterday's flight. Below is the link.

And here's my track. I flew for 3 hours and 10 minutes.
