    Slow and heavy is alright sometimes. I'll take 20 minutes any day of the week, especially if a hawk joins in. At Apollo, there are red hawks which from time to time will fly CAP on us. Watching them glide effortlessly barely moving a muscle to stay aloft.... birds are miracles. It's no wonder ancient peoples revered them and have been fascinated with flight ever since.

      The roads leading into the field give great conventions- it got to 80* yesterday.

        Nice! I need a good thermaler (sp??)...I miss having a nice soar bird that could stay aloft for an hour or so without power. My ASW-28 is heavy and needs speed. Can't thermal to save its life.

          It was a nice surprise on the first flight yesterday, while it was early and still cool. I got it up over the roads and chopped the motor and the nose did not drop. Even funnier that after the long flight I got it down and checked the battery- 3.8 volts each cell (3S 1300)

            Nice! I think gliders might well be the most underrated class of this hobby. So rewarding.

                  If the potential buyer backs out, I’m sure we could work something out.

                    Sent her up with the new owner this morning - great Father’s gift to himself. Had a little trouble binding and getting throttle set up correct and controls were reversed but once that was straight, I gave him a good throw into the 5 knots of wind and up she went at a good clip. Showed him how to find some lift and how to work the wind and watched him fly for a full 20 minutes. Battery was at 70% after landing. He was all smiles and am glad she has a good home.
