Winds looks to be very light -- 2 - 3 mph -- but out of the east on Sunday. Does anyone know if this will this work for flying Bill's Hill, or are stronger winds needed to make it work? Temperatures appear that they will be in the 30's though.

Thanks Tom. I'm looking here:
http://usairnet.com/cgi-bin/launch/code ... t+Forecast
Is that not as reliable a site as NOAH? I love the format.

weather
I believe the weather is difficult to predict and there are different models out there to predict it.
That's why the weather slightly differs looking at the various sites
I surf to http://members.cox.net/cragins/
and use the last column NOAA a lot, click also on site map and look up the local forecast by filling out the city. Once you get this info go down on the page and click on the HOURLY WEATHER GRAPH. My experience is that this is very reliable but not 100% of course. I don't like USAIRNET so much.
Surf also to Alek Beynenson's ARL Winds at Altitude (link on cragins) and look the predications up per site. You wil also see the blipmaps and the winds on altitude, a must!
Cheers
ps Bills looks too weak with no sun.

Bill's in SE
Bill's really sucks when there's SE winds of over 10. But under ten it's not so bad. Tomorrow looks light enough that the cross shouldn't be much of a problem. Plus, it looks more ESE than SE tomorrow.

Bills tomorrow
I see east early, i.e. until noon or so. The weather should also be nice in the morning. Later, it will cloud up and the winds switch SE.
We have had success at Bills when launching early. However, I'm not sure whether this would happen tomorrow. But maybe we should try.
If it was 15 minutes from where I live I would certainly try. But it's 2.5 hours...
Let's see, check again in the morning and then talk.
Sleep well,
Marcel
