Sloping this Saturday

[atjurhs]

The forescat is 15+mph NW winds at 3pm. Who's going with me? I'm going to maiden the CQP.

Todd, it's gonna be bone-chillin' cold on Saturday. The weatherman just said there's a good chance of precip too...maybe even the frozen kind! But, hey, I flew the Weasel at the Smokies in zero-degree wind chill and spitting snow, so count me in!

Well at this point my cold/flu bug is getting worse and so are the weather temp predictions and with no CQP to maiden, I'm bugging out.

Looks like the winds are shifting a little too far westerly anyway. I'm gonna pass.

Hope you get to feeling better, Todd.

Might better change that to "snowpin'" instead of slopin'! ;)

Thought I might tease you guys with some photo's of where the West Sydney Sloper Soarers spend their weekends :cool: any of you guys get down under your more than welcome to drop in for a fly I'll personally stick a transmitter and sloper in your hands . this is one one of half a dozen sites we fly .We fly all year round ,we dont get winters like you guys .It may get to 0 deg's early morning but usually by 9:00am its running around 70 degF :D
in summer though it can start at 100deg f but its usually arounf the 80's to 90's

Might nice slope site there, Steve. We woke up to snow this morning...well, just a dusting, but that's a lot for these parts!
