Looks flyable and the weekend is questionable. Will be there midday.

Good day at Highland. There were ~7-8 pilots flying with Steve, Joe and Danny sticking the longest in weak thermals over the airpark. For me, it was my first flight with the LightSpeed since breaking a leading edge back in March at Smithburg. Sunny (our resident HG surgeon extraordinaire), replaced the carbon LEs with aluminum, modified the Moyes round speed bar to attach 8” Finsterwalder wheels and tuned the glider. Except for the extra weight, the glider feels great in the air – A huge thanks to Sunny and Adam for making this happen!!

It was great to meet and fly with you guys (I was the dude with the orange a and blue WW Eagle). As as already said, nothing epic, but a beautiful day at the flight park, and everyone had safe flights. There are worse ways to spend a friday. :mrgreen:
