Burford Thurs May 16
Looks like it may be quite windy after mid-morning so I''ll try and get there 9 to 9:30. I'm going to at least test glide the LS6 and it is heavy so some wind may be helpful. A true maiden will depend on survivability of the test glide.

Hey,
I hope to make it on Thursday if the weather cooperates. I’m anxious to fly my new Prime RES III.
Cheers Andy T

Re: Wednesday, May 15/24, Burford Flying Session
Wednesday Morning Update:
Just updated the Wind & Waves forecast for tomorrow and it looks to still be good! Steady East winds around 9 kph, high of 18C and sunny! The Weather Network's forecast is not so rosy unfortunately! They are predicting North East winds from 14-21 kph! : ( This has pretty well been the trend this month, lots of wind! Oh well, it will be a day where you fly something that you have confidence it can handle the strong winds, probably won't be ideal for a first time toss of your latest build.
I will be there around 10:15 am...ish.
Cheers!
Lyle
Monday Evening Update:
Yeah...Wednesday looks to be a blow out! Thursday is indeed the better day. I plan on arriving at the field Thursday morning around 10:15 am. Hopefully the forecast holds....
Best,
Lyle
Morning!
Looking ahead to the weather forecasts for the upcoming week, Wednesday and Thursday both look promising, but once again the winds coming from the East, look to be a wee bit on the high side. At this point, I'm planning on heading to the field on Wednesday morning, however, if that doesn't work out, Thursday will be my back up day.
I will update this post on Tuesday evening.
Best,
Lyle

Ann:
I think the forecasters were about 6 hours too early. After I arrived back home, around 3 pm, it was all sunshine 'n roses in my backyard! Almost no wind, sunny and warm! Damn, eh? Unfortunately, you have to play the hand your dealt! We all managed to get some flights in and enjoyed socializing at our beautiful field, so it wasn't a total loss.
As you mentioned, it was the kind of wind that you would fly something that you had properly trimmed out previously, and you knew could handle some wind. It was not however, the kind of conditions where you would want to maiden a sailplane that you have just spent the winter preparing it for the upcoming flying season.
I agree, well said....
