Superforecast says winds @ 1 mph from 9-11 AM. Good opportunity to tune-up my Square Eagle.
Later on, I'm off to the SOGGI Membership Meeting in Rockton.

Flying Friday Oct 18 pm
The wind is forecast to decrease in Caledonia Friday afternoon after ~1pm. Is anyone interested in an afternoon flying session? I don't think I'll go unless anyone else is interested. I thought I'd fly electric to save the time of setting up a line.
Please post if interested.
Andy

Yes, but won't be able to get there until 10 -10:30. Andy
Windy the rest of the week, shame given the sunshine and temperature.

Westover Oct 4 post flying report
I am enthused with a good outing this afternoon:-
I took a pair of gloves, and so glad I did. It was cloudy, no sun and the wind was cold. But that did not matter, conditions were great although not constant. Flew for about 65 mins with just very short breaks to pick it up and chuck it again when the wind would drop momentarily. The lift was so strong at times I honestly thought I was not going to be able to bring it down if the wind did not subside.The iSoar-V (has Bob H's wing design) is a joy to fly when the conditions suit it.
I was joined by some Red Tails for a short while and was afraid they were going to attack the plane, but they did not.
Apart from the Red Tails I was very lonely (hint).
