My brother and I hit Brookville (IN) today, was much
better than I expected - S winds, 10-15 with lots of lift. Helped my
brother dial in his new HalfPipe, made mine look pretty ratty (almost a full
season in on it, and the rocks and guardrails are taking their
toll). Plan was to get him flying on the backside by the end of the
day, mostly successful. It's addictive. If you have not tried DS'ing
yet, you have to try it at least once.
I'm definitely hooked
- spent the last hour working on making good circles. was getting some good
speed going. Learned that tighter cricles were faster, maybe just feels
that way? Regardless, I felt like today was my fasted day yet.
For a sailplane guy, there's nothing like the sound of an engine-less ship
going by fast enough to make that kind of noise.
Good thing I'm still
flying foam, tho - "set her down" hard enough to bend metal control horns, but
the ship could fly tomorrow. Good News / Bad News?
Good
news, still one of the best sites to fly around. Bad news, I won't be out
there tomorrow.....
