Had FUN flying Tuesday

Post by rancerupp »

After how many weeks of no flying (not to mention us all not getting too much airtime this winter), Tim takes his first truck tow of the afternoon and just NAILS his SPOT Landing (Again!!!) :wink: . I believe he could just sit down on the cone. Tim is becoming quite an example for landing technique.

We got to Steve's about 1 o'clock followed shortly thereafter by Kinsley. We all took our turns on truck tows using Steve W's new $3000 launch dolly. It was somewhat of a struggle finding and staying in lift. I even managed a short-lived low save. It could have been due to the challenge of the sparse lift or because it had been so many weeks since I'd flown, but my two short extendos were two of the most enjoyable flights I'd had.

It looks like Spring is ramping up the flyable days. I plan on getting 'High' on most of them.

Hi Rance---good to hear you guys were back at Blue Sky! Holly and I are planning our first visit down there soon---we'd like to come down this weekend, but I've got a feeling the tow road will be mud. (We'll call Steve tomorrow to check.)

See you soon!
