phil1975 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Finally a flyable couple of days! I managed my longest (1h55m) & highest (6253 ft) flight to date this evening. It was a bit bumpy for the first 20 mins then it was like someone flicked a switch & it turned really smooth. Turned the engine off over a mile up & had a beautiful 15minute glide back down. I am now officially happy again! Did anyone else get off the ground? Lets hear your stories... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1buell_wl Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Nope high winds all weekend. Sat was a good kite surfing session with 20kns! Sunday I drove to a flying site but still 12-13kns of ugly looking wind so I decided to have a beer lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptwizz Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Had a couple of flights Friday and a couple more Saturday. These were my first out of circuit flights, so all the more special. Pete Bailey 175 Ozone Indy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
