Re: Woodstock Sunday 5/15
Midday hourly fcst looks out of hand for the launch slot. Gonna get there way early before the midday throttleup. Looking to complete the out and return and land at the winery too. Bacil
Re: Woodstock Sunday 5/15
Had a logistical problem in the morning so didn't go then but opted for the possibility of a late evening flight after the forecasted throttleback after 6P. I got to launch just before 5 after dropping my wife off at the winery. It was moderate on launch but very swirly in the slot at times. There were easily launchable mild cycles that lasted 30 seconds or more. Randy called on his way and I voted for another day as a dinner honoring my 5/12 birthday was being cooked at the winery and in retrospect it would've been quite selfish of me to fly and keep the people waiting. However, it did back down nicely on the ground by 7P, so I bet a 6:30 launch would've been easy and landing after an hour of airtime not much of an issue other than logistics. The dinner was excellent, the wine chilled, and the overnight stay at the Strasburg Hotel just what the doctor ordered . Bacil
