Howdy! (The I'm from Texas greeting!)
Last Saturday I flew for two hours and caught lots of
light lift thermals that didn't get much height, but
helped me stay in the air longer. My watch's battery
died a few weeks ago and I've been too busy/lazy/cheap
to go get a new one with the result that I r
In the next few weeks, I'll be flying my small taildragger down the Oregon
Coast for a few days at Manzanita beach with my wife. Wondering if anyone's
doing any interesting flying anywhere nearby there on the Oregon coast,
especially anywhere near any little coastal airports ( ;) ). What's the

Eben,
There's a slope in Pacific Palisades (just north of Santa Monica) called Temescal,
though I've never flown there. I understand its good, but there is virtually no
landing area. In Malibu, there are no really good spots right on the coast, but there
is a pretty good place called Snake H
Ah! Now this puts it all into perspective. And I'd not considered the
wingloading that results from the acceleration and pullout in the zoom phase
of the launch, and that is considerable.

The lift on a wing is:
L = (.00237/2) * CL * S * V^2
where .00237 = density of air
S = area in sq ft
V = velocity in ft/sec
CL = coefficient of lift, which during th
One of the more accepted hookups is to connect the output of the
variac to the input of a 24v or 40v transformer, of sufficient power
handling capacity, and then hook the hot wire to the output of the
transformer. This way you get isolation and a fine vernier control

Eben,
Welcome to Socal!
There is some slope flying in Torrance. People fly between Avenue A and
Avenue C. There are some slopes above Malibu but I am not sure where.
I'll copy the list. I'm sure folks can tell you where many great sites are.

I have a surplus variac type control, new surplus. I will sell it for $28.00 plus
shipping.
There is a wiring diagram with it but no instructions per se.

With respect to the winch load values being quoted and using those values in
the previously-posted formula for wingrod sizing, I'm getting some large
wingrod sizes. For example, for a 2M wing, a 150 pound winch load requires
a 7/16" wingrod, and a 50 pound winch load needs a 5/16" wingrod. Th
