Sunday Taylor Plans

[CraginS]

Dan T and I have decided to prove we are both a bit tetched in the head, and are planning a foot launch day at Taylor.
The pros:
shorter drive than a flight park.
Rendezvous en route to carpool and save gas
SW winds at reasonable velocity
sharing a glider, taking turns, gives plenty of time to rest between flights.
buddy critique on launch style (video proof)
The cons:
Temp is gonna be in the high 80's

Anyone want to join us? I think we will arrive before noon.

Oh, yeah.. Middleton is at Hyner, so he will not be teaching there today.

Dan T. and I carted my Pulse 19 down to Taylor Farm on Sunday for a little launch and landing practice. We arrived about 11:30, and found the wind more SE than SW, but not too strong. Also, in spite of the overcast, it was definitely hot. Eventually the wind was blowing more up the hill than across it. I got in a couple of flights; Dan flew once. Our runs felt good, and our landings were reasonable, even if not perfect.
We both agreed it was too hot for more carries back up the hill. With that, we found our way into Fredericksburg for a brew and a bit of pizza. Not a long flying day, but a flying day, nonetheless. It was fun to be in the sky.

There is a snippet of video over on my (b)Log.

Oh, yeah.. thanks, John M. for mowing last week. We could not have flown without your work.
