Training Day

Post by Gene »

Sun, Fun and Run. Met Scott W. and Rich N. at Taylors. Set up streamers and prepared for PT. Good day for training, beautiful sky and warm sun made for great flights. Not many cowpies, but did step in one on last flight then another retrieving streamers. Yeah, it was fresh and mushy.....

Ditto what Gene said---Sun, Fun, and (huff-huff-huff-pant-pant-pant) Run! :) Taylors was perfect---a little crossing from the south, but smooth winds at 7-10mph. Neither Gene nor I have been there since the infamous fence was put up, but it was a non-issue as we just turned left after launching from the top and landed out that way, well away from the fence.

I was disgusted at not being able to sprint back up the hill with my glider in one go! :) Good motivation to keep hitting the training hill. Have they cut that corn at Smithsburg yet?

Many thanks to Rich for helping out with hang checks, grabbing the nose, etc.
