Cabin fever anyone ?
joe:
Shit!, thats not nice
Fred:
AAAAaaaaahhhh Flew again in Kilakee last Saturday :D
Low wind conditions and small thermal activity, and a good 40 minutes flight with the good old Algebra.
Followed by a fight down the valley to get some altitude after everything that marginaly kept me up in the air stopped!... Mountain wins, Fred lose !
And a 30 minutes walk for me :D
And a great day ! :D
Happy to been out before the snow covered the mountain again in the evening !
Happy Days:
Never mind Fred, the walk did you good. :lol:
I was out yesterday on the north slope of Big L. Fair wind but not a lot of lift…….wind was a little too much from the East. I remembered what you taught me in light lift conditions, “Keep the wings level in the turns.” I could also hear Joe calling in my ear, “RUDDER,…. more RUDDER!”
When are the big lift conditions going to return so I can 'Bank and Yank' my way around the sky :!:
Fred:
Hey Keith,
But you also need someone behind you slapping your head while shouting "rudder !!!" :lol:
In light conditions, the rudder is king ! :D
Anyway, yep, still waiting for a bit more windy conditions now ! Would like to fly the Crystal !!! :!:
Eiretime:
Hey had anyone seen the weather for Saturday? Looking good for The Big L :D
