Re: Flying today
Wednesday is perfect for slope flying at Lawrencetown. Winds SSW 15kph with gusts to 28 kph. Temp 14 deg C.
Chris Dean, Al Coolen and I (and possibly others) plan to be there at 11 am.

Re: Flying today
Looks like today is going to be good, and me without a plane. Forecast last night was high wind so I didn't charge any batteries. Oh well. Need to find a better forecast site.
MAAC: 19887
I never crash, I just create exciting ways to meet the ground. After all, take-offs are desirable, landings are inevitable.

Chris Dean, John Walker, Al Coolen, Richard Giles and me at the Lawrencetown slope from 11am to 1:30pm
Conditions were medium SSW wind, warm - just perfect conditions. Lots of models and airtime.

Re: Flying today
I took my wife out to SP this afternoon, around 1300,and let my Apprentice have its way in the air. I got in three flights before I decided that the wind was getting too much for my flying capabilities.
We then went on the SP Trail. What a great trail. The view at the point is worth the walk.

Re: Flying today
Black Friday flying! No parking problems, no long lines to wait in, no hassles with impatient consumers. Being retired has a lot of advantages. It was a good morning to drain some batteries in the Apprentice.

Re: Flying today
Great day for flying at lunch time. Going back at 4 to use up my last 2 batteries if the wind behaves.
