Smithsburg Sunday

[Richard Hays]

Blown out Saturday but very nice on Sunday. Arrived at 10:00am with wind
coming in at about 10mph. Some W cross but very minimal. Peak winds hit
about 15-17 but slacked off to a steady 10 most of the day. As mid afternoon
arrived, the wind became more cross and we finally bagged it at about 3:30
but everyone got their fill of flights.

FYI: The corn stubble at the base is an issue. Hopefully this will be gone
soon. If not, then forget training first or second day students there
or.....students depending upon wheels for their landings.

Others' flying: Juan, Dan, Sparky, Tim, Tim, and Eddie on RC.

I heard a rumor that the landowner will flatten the corn stubble with a roller---true? (If not, how long before that stuff is gone?)

Ohhhhh, so it's open, is it... I asked this question
last week and got no response. Thanks!

Most probably he will bale it up into large rolls for fodder.. as he has
done before. But no telling when. Hopefully Sparky and Eddie will keep us
all informed. In the meantime, use caution when landing there.
And....walking out of the stuff is tough too.

With a PG, you can land on the side of the hill and avoid all that stubble
If you land in it with a PG, you can get a tangled mess ...

I landed a trainer wing in it twice on Saturday and it just about wore me out carrying the glider over all that 18" high stubble.

Until the farmer bales it up, I'm flying PG there

Oops, my bad. It seems like at least half of the
posts from this list are ending up in the "Bulk"
folder in Yahoo...D-OH! No wonder I couldn't follow
any of the threads.

I used to have everything come to my account, then discovered how peaceful it was to turn it off and go to the website to read only what I wanted. Nice to not have such a gravid inbox either.

Yahoo's rejecting emails because folks are putting avatar images in the messages. Don't want those by email.
