Re: Woodstock, Sunday 2/19

Perfect HG conditions. Had a short flight but wasn't penetrating without speed and wussed out.

Re: Woodstock, Sunday 2/19

Came early with the hopes of getting up before the wind. Don't let my light comment deter folks. It's blowing in the valley and about 3-8mph on launch. I think the wind is a bit cross at the moment from the west, which was also demonstrated in the LZ. Now cycles at 10mph or more.

Re: Woodstock, Sunday 2/19

On launch. Nice and light. Will watch for a while before launching, but would appreciate a ride back up if I sink out from any forthcoming pilots.

Weather Calculations - My Process

Given the discussions last night and today, I wanted to send out a list of weather sites I use to inform my decision. It isn't the best compilation, but it's relatively easy to use. I really need to learn more about the weather, but the textbook I bought on it just seems overwhelming. Any way... I s...

Ready to Fly in 2016?

All, The weather is getting good, and we all want to fly. But we all need to do a few things to get ready to do so. Paying your membership dues is a key part of that, in addition to dusting off the gear, practicing the basics, and ensuring your reserve is good to go. We have one new member this mont...

Also, we have roughly 20 members who have completed their two membership requirements, and a handful that have done half. Good work so far, but there's room for continued improvement.

Re: Time to Pay your dues

Indeed! So far about 20 people have paid their dues. That's more than those that paid their dues by March of last year. Let's keep up the good work and keep on improving. Let's get 100 pilots registered by February!

Re: Valle de Bravo - Monarca Open Interim Reports

Day 5: It was a 70km task west, northeast, south then north to the lake. I only got 45km along the course before me and a handful of pilots got stopped by the headwind. It was a great blue day of flying. Not many people to goal but still a wonderful task. I flew with a group of pilots the whole time...

Valle de Bravo - Monarca Open Interim Reports

DAY 1: It was a 66km track (optimized) or 80km task. I didn't do so well, but I had a great flight. I launched really early and took my grand old time going to the start cylinder. I ended up going past the start so that I could play the down wind leg to the first turn point. However, then I had a mo...

Re: Club donation to USHPA

Damn good or darn mediocre, anyone who seeks to fly in the future damn well better be making a contribution even if only for a darn ten bucks.

If people's dues payments and response to this crisis are any indication, we won't be flying in 2016.

Rise up.

I would love to think Ediths on Saturday, but I think Daniels may be more in the cards. Uppers are west, so we may have a nice convergence at Ediths - or just lots of turbulence.
