Well, it looks like it's finally time to split off and give Dave's Beach it's own thread.

For those that don't know where it is or how it got the name Dave's Beach, here are a couple of informative links;

Use this thread to post your next flying date, wind report, upcoming events or just flying topics related to this site.

We're lucky to have several good flying sites in San Diego County and a great group of fliers. Hopefully, this thread will just allow us to focus topics related to flying at Dave's.

How has it been there lately Chip?

Not expecting much this weekend Tom,...

...but has been 6~8mph W to WNW the last couple of weekends. Flyable but not ideal since Dave's is a 250 degree facing slope and ideal in WSW winds.

This weekend may be best suited for propellor planes doing orthbound "Touch and Gos"

Here are a couple of representative wunderground stations near Dave's Beach

Alta Mira is on the East side of the 5 Freeway on the side of the Hill

Beacons is right on the Coast about 2 miles South

If we can get Hilton Gardens to post weather stats, we'll be in the money!

See you at the fest.

With your Contender repaired and ready to fly,...

.....I hope

How's it going with the FPV thing there on the 29th?

Hey Mark,

Capt Crunch posted it as Sept 22nd on another thread. I'd heard 29th as well?!?

Date was changed due to a lot of local events going on the 22nd.

I'd love to see people there more regularly. Not too many good days this summer, though.

Thanks for the weather sites Chip. I had Beacons on my phone...I'll ad Alta Mira.

Yeah,

...with the new Hilton Resort down the Coast Hiway, we may have another good chance to convince the Hilton Garden Inn to mount a web cam & weatherstation.

It may help them with loss revenue

Forecast is showing SW wind today,....

....but I'm skeptical after yesterday's scorcher. Maybe bring out something with Power assist

Our typical weather pattern has returned,

...with SW ~ W winds up to 8mph peaking around 2pm. Time to get some lunchtime flying in agaiin

And here I am, working in Colorado Springs again:-(
