We are planning stopping at Woodstock tomorrow, on our way back from West Virginia.
Unfortunately without my hangglider.
If timing permits, will be happy to be a wire help at launch; though, can't stay for long.
ETA noon.

Thank you to Gary, Tom, and Knut for the site orientation and helping me launch.

Stopped by at Woodstock today, Thursday, January 3, 2019, on our way back from WV.
Daisuke, Tom and Gary flew. They all did get soaring flights.
Tom flew up to Edinburgh Gap, "...challenging giving that it was only 300 feet over most of the flight. About an hour...".
My son Hans used his cell and filmed all the great launches. If interested, go to following link.

Knut and Hans - thanks for the video and for your help yesterday. The video was great and it was fun to show my family. We should take more videos of launches and landings.

As Knut wrote, we all had soaring flights. I did not get very high given the light winds and lack of sun. However, it was consistent enough that I was able to get down to the Edinburgh Gap and back.

Thanks again

Tom McGowan
