Smithsburg Saturday Afternoon Feb. 26th

Charley and I are planning on some afternoon flights. Anybody else? Bacil

I'm thinking about SBurg tomorrow. Will decide based on the SatAM forecast updates. WStock and Pulpit seem like they could be in-the-mix too? Though gotta say it would be cold, not sure how motivated I am....

Too cold for me at the mountains tomorrow. Bacil

I think I'll wander up to SBurgh, in hopes of some 10-ish cycles. Any ETA yet Bacil?

There were some lighter cycles to be had, which I like because ya gotta run! Also some stronger stuff, so not a bad mix. Five flights, one crappy landing when I got popped by a thermal. Also one fun flight when I was popped up above the hill, and then landing in Falcon elevator-down mode from 10-20 feet : It was stupid fun, so I just rode it out!

DaveP pointed out that I should have had the bar sucked in, "ya-never-know". Good point, totally right on a spring day. I made sure that my last flight was a burn-it-in final (for a Falcon!) and called it a day. Great fun, thanks to Bacil for socks and streamers and for help ground handling!

More great conditions at Smithsburg. Just pick the type of cycle you want to launch-fly-land in. Only had time/energy for one flight but it was fun.

Thanks to Bacil and Mark for having enough enthusiasm to keep us going.
