Beating the heat at 47N

Postby beaky » Tue Jul 27, 2010 5:39 pm

A pretty good day (the 18th). Hot and hazy, but mucho lift out there. Greg finally took the 1-26 up for a hop, and di pretty well with it. I chickened out- a little too windy for my first time.

Besides, I'm still working on flying the 2-33 from the back seat. took old friend Holly up for two flights- she was a model pax; pretty good for someone who'd never flown in anything other than a cigar tube. again, you can see how handy that rear window is for photography... although a wide-angle lens would have helped. Other than the fluttering yaw string, you can barely tell we're in flight.

Having survived two glider flights, she was then ready for a Breezy ride with mike at the helm. She said it was like flying on a broomstick- a very good analogy, but I was afraid to ask how she knew what broomstick-flying was like.
