Much better than the last time. Still conditions changed from very string to almost not launchable.

Re: Let's try it again: Pulpit 7/18?
Here are some photos from last Sunday's Pulpit adventure. My Flytec recorded a 1hr 43min flight and a high climb of 4,888 MSL. Landed next to Micah and Debbie Meyers' dairy farm just east of Lemasters PA. After milking his cows, Micah gave me a lift back to launch. Thanks!

Great photos, Ward!! What type of camera and mount are using? Does it require a counter-weight on the other wing?

JR,
Thanks for the feedback. The cameras counter weight each other. They are Nikon S620s (point and shoot) that are each set for 30 sec exposures. Sunday's flight, including ground handling, generated 480 photos. Over 90% of them are either uninteresting or redundant but from many come a few decent shots. They are mounted on the outer sprogs with stuff that I got from the hardware store (quarter inch bolts, lock washers, bolts, sheet metal pipe hanging tape and hose clamps). If you like, I can give more details. I've flown with them for close to a year now and if they affect the flying characteristics of my U2, I haven't noticed it.
