Okay.....Tuesdays forecast is looking much more amiable! I will be picking up Terry D around 9 am and should be there before 10 am. Might actually bring a real glider along with my foamy trash! 😎

Best,

As Monday looks too windy at Burford and not windy enough at Westover,

I plan to fly on Tuesday at Burford.

Will arrive around 10 and will be flying the usual group of models.

For clarity, I will create a new post separately for the planned flying day

So Monday at Burford now looks too windy. But Westover Monday morning looks OK and Tuesday at Burford currently looks perfect.

Please post with your preferences if you can make either day. I can't come out both days and have to move an appointment if I come out on Tuesday.

Good Morning!

I'm debating about whether to attend as the weather forecast is calling for 18-29 kph NE winds. I missed the Friday session where the winds were calm for once. : ( The last time I flew at the field, the winds were right on the edge of being unflyable, for me at least. I think I will wait until Sunday night for a more accurate forecast and make a decision at that time.

Best,

Lyle

Plan to be there 9:30 ish if the forecast holds. Please post if you plan on being there. Will bring some old planes since my more recent ones are somewhat in need of drastic attention.

UPDATE Saturday 4:50 pm. As Lyle says it is now looking windier on Monday. However Westover is looking possible with similar winds to the north of the slope. I'll update again tomorrow and may change plans to fly at Westover and test out our winter workshop efforts.

I plan on getting out around 10:30. Learning to program with Ethos means I may have two or three planes: RES and DLG(s)

I concur with Tim that the previous flying session last week was tremendous. Lots of thermals made for an educational and fun session.
