I get scared if I fly that high.
Highest today was around 2500 AGL...
A foot of snow forecast for here tomorrow ;-(

"Start" of the New England soaring season? The GBSC "Heavy Iron" has been soaring all winter! Here's a video from Saturday:

Very nice! I was still recovering from the flu Saturday.
Looks like you got the same nose-bleed altitude I did yesterday...
We've already had 6" snow today, so I think we're grounded
for a while now...

See ya, Dave "YO electric"

Congratulations to YO for posting something about actually flying XC!

Well, calling that XC might be a slight exaggeration ;-)
One foot of snow yesterday, no more flying for a while...
At least I got to check all my latest mods are OK
prior driving down to the Seniors!

See ya, Dave "YO electric"
