It is looking pretty windy over the next few days, but Weds pm looks good for the slope. Due south 20-30 kph, 22C. If the forecast stays current, I aim to be there around noon.

Starting 9 AM-ish, the plan is as follows:
A) Launch airplane, glide a lot, and then land somewhere nearby.
B) Repeat A) until fatigue sets in.
C) Go to Tim's to thaw out.

Also see Andy's note below, re flying tomorrow (Friday Oct 26).

Update, it is still looking OK but a bit cool and the grass will likely be quite wet, so plan to get there 10:30 ish. I'll bring the DLG as might need the exercise to keep warm!

It looks windy all week until Thurs/Fri. I can't make it Thurs so if mother nature co-operates I plan to be at the field on Friday (26th).

At the moment the forecast looks OK for a visit to the slope before Sunday's meeting. So if it stays OK plan to be there about noon for 45 mins or so.
