Slope flying at Gude

Posted by CFrench | Jan 09, 2012 @ 05:11 PM | 4,090 Views

County cut down a tree line last year we used to dangerously slope and catch thermals off of with our HLs. I thought our days of S/SW wind HL slope flying at Gude were over. But CASA ended up with a nice little "bowl" for lite slope flying. It aint much, but with a HL or other lite sloper its a blast. First time I flew for 30 minutes with a couple brief grass landings.
