Do I understand this thread correctly? Absolutely no politics and no contributions from people that disagree with your politics. Oh the irony.

What a great country that we live in, yes the irony! After reviewing the OLC flights I would say that the flight out of Boulder in the HP304 was the best, it had a descent triangle something much more difficult than flying up and down the ridge, not taking anything away from ridge flying, but IMHO the triangle is more challenging.
twofiv, you spoke too soon, Bralla still has my AK on his mind.

Looks like the early scoring of the day may go to the motor glider guys from Seminole, too early to declare a winner guess we will wait until the big dogs from the west log into OLC. Bob
How long until people need burner OLC accounts to avoid social shaming for having gone flying?

Several good flights on Saturday, Moriarty was good, Minden, very good. I liked the 27 flight from Moriarty , speed was way up there with respectable triangle.

Looks like the NW had the good weather yesterday with several good flights including three good triangles. Maybe the WX in the south will get better.

Great flight, Tom!
The wind howled yesterday at Moriarty and this morning we woke up to 6
inches of snow.Â* I'm in the mountains about 20 miles west of 0E0 as the
crow flies, but won't be headed there today...Â* Keep up those good
flights!Â* You, too Eric.

There were a couple of lucky fliers yesterday, out west, in Washington and California.
Saturday the 11th was a great Moriarty day in that the Manzano shear line was working like gang busters. More so if you were too lazy to run north (that would be me), but stayed under the street to see if I could run up a deceit average speed. Worked very well thank you.

The guys at Sunflower did a very good job with their triangles and the flight in the Zuni was outstanding! Way to go.

Dan, that sure must have been an enjoyable afternoon in the 180, I flew one of those back in the 70's all I did was bounce, bounce, bounce, you know the drill. Bob

April 16th 20, 12:16 AM
Oh, you must be talking about landing the thing. :-DÂ* I find the
landings easier than the takeoffs, especially with a cross wind from the
left.Â* There were a few thermals but we were only about 3,000' AGL.
Sundance Aviation was launching the Grob with two on board.Â* I don't
know if those were rides, training, or checks.

No, not the thing, the beast! I had more fun than a barrel of monkeys.
Dan when we had our 180 I found she would three point as easily as other draggers IF I cranked in all of the up-trim available and kept just a smidge of power on. If I didn’t then it definitely was bounce bounce lol.

I bet you did freeze your toes off, from my calculations looks like you got about 8500 AGL at one point. Very nice triangle Roy, that is the kind of flight that makes it fun. Bob

Dan,
Yup, made a couple of small bounces yesterday.Â* Landings are really
pretty uneventful and I generally do them as you described.Â* I was
recalling a particular take off from a ranch strip on the Continental
Divide, with soft dirt, left quartering tailwind, and down hill.Â* Took
most of the strip to get airborne, but there was a wide, gentle valley
ahead to gain altitude.Â* In the other direction was a head wind, but up
hill, into the side of a mountain which would require maneuvering to
miss the rocks and then dive down a canyon to gain speed and then
altitude.Â* If I had it to do again, I think I'd take the up hill, into
the rocks, choice.
I don't think I'll take our "Goose" back there, but I'll certainly take
the gyro once it's built and tested.

Didn't think the early flight would stand the day, looks like the flights from New Castle set the top three positions. Three nice flights, the LS6 set the pace with over 900 points, way to go!

I liked Dan's 750 km triangle better. Nice flight Dan, you made it look routine.

I also must agree, I do like triangles, glad to see that someone else recognized the triangle. I will do a bit of backwalking here and give kudos to the triangle. Bob

Not so good for me today.Â* Since I rode my Harley to the airport, I wore
jeans, which I haven't done for flying for years.Â* The wallet in my hip
pocket was pure torture and I had a cable come loose on my ClearNav,
disabling the control buttons on the stick.Â* After about 0.9 hours, I
just had to land.

I give a big way to go for the guy in the Std. Cirrus yesterday in Kansas. Tony Condon did a very nice triangle, great flight.

It was fun! Leah gave me an auto tow behind our Subaru Outback. First launch was a little too early. Classic post frontal conditions though, fairly early start, late finish, high cloudbases. Battery died about the time I made it back to Sunflower. Need to get a dual setup! Couldn't quite get enough altitude at the end to open it up to a 500km free triangle.

Well, the boys are learning how to fly a triangle. I take special pride in giving the flight of the day to the guys at Seminole Lake GP. I know Rich gets a bit defensive when I tease him about flying up and down HWY27. Yes, they ridge soar in Florida, right up and down the Florida Ridge elevation 67 feet! Way to go guys glad to see the motorglider group flying triangles.

I do think there will be more flights posted today, right now ZO and the crew from Seminole hold the top spots, but I am most positive there will be another post that may just get the flight of the day. Bob

Yep, as I predicted the boys at Seminole only took second place. Just happen to notice that the top flight was made yesterday from Treasure Coast Soaring Club. Todd Roy in his JS3 did an outstanding triangle yesterday against a wind of 25 knots at times and took first place for the day.

looks like the guys in Wisconsin had great flights yesterday, wonderful triangles!!!! I thought that I might have a chance at a honorable mention as I flew completely around Lake O again yesterday. Lake O, no easy task with a very strong west wind and trying to avoid the lake shadow. Actually stayed low on the shadow side and got down to 1k on the shadow side only to stick in there and get lucky. Finally got back up and continued homeward where I landed at home and tucked the old girl in the hangar only to get ready for the next adventure.

Looks like Todd Roy of the TCSC had the best flight yesterday with another big triangle. Way to go Todd, keep up the big triangles and not the straight lines. Bob

Huh?, Kathy not only had the best US flight of the day, but credit for the extra burden of filling out 23 sets of declarations. Everyone else gets a participation ribbon. What a great effort.
