What a difference a week and the same forecast makes. Last week in the SE bowl, there was no wind, no lift and we were rained out early. This week, the SE bowl had a good 10-12mph coming straight in, no rain and plenty of lift. Of course no one complained! We had plenty of good flying with lots of combat . Now if only next weekend we’d be so lucky.

We had 15-20mph winds straight in on the East side. In a word….Great! Everyone had been looking at the weather report, because we had 20 members up top before noon. Suprisingly, with the amount of RC air traffic (10-12 airplanes in the air), there were only 2 midairs and virtually no damage. Very much a successful day with everyone logging lots of flight times.

Mike, waiting for more wind....Continue Reading
