Glad to hear someone else
got out in the midwest. :-)
I got in a few hours of
slopen this morning, then the sun broke a
little, so got the winch
trailer out and the X-21.
It was blowing 15 to 20
mph, and 41 degrees, had a great time.
Zooms where huge with the
X-21.
The significant
other even got out and shag chutes for me,
God bless her! I
swear she's a saint sent to me. :-)

Subject: [RCSE] Big air day in Louisville
today
It was COLD this morning...and over cast from yesterdays rain
storm. We got to the field a little late about 11:00am. Ed didn't
have the winch with him, figuring no one would fly today, but the winds were
calm and AOL said warm and sunny today, so I cajoled him into bringing it
out.
By the time it was set up the sun was out the temp was up and as usual, a
warm dry day following a cold wet day meant a day of yelling at newbies to get
their planes down!
Sweet stuff. Picolario said that a pals 2m Spirit was at 1,400'.
and barely visible which led to some excitement but in the end his spoilers
did their job. If he wasn't hooked into soaring before, you can bet he
is now.
Wish you all could have been there.
