as far as thermals go no, but the temp was only about 80 yesterday, during
the summer, its 80 at 6am. I had planned on some bumps from them, but not the
moderate turbulence from all that wind , caught a couple of 1500 FPM updrafts
that helped me up to altitude a bit faster which was good.
Usually its not to bad once you get up past 10,000 ft unless its windy, which
it was not suppose to be. I like to think my arrow is pretty stable, allot
more stable then my old cherokee 180 with the hershey bar wings used to be.
But the flight was 3 hours and has it got around 6pm and I would have been
well over california, probably around modesto, it should have been a really
nice flight.
that was my plans any ways

I hate this weather we are having, I had a flight planned to
Sacramento, California from las vegas yesterday, planned to leave out at
about 4pm so we could enjoy the time of the day when its right before
the sun goes down where its just perfect for flying and the sun going
down makes everything kinda pretty.

I'm a relative flatlander, but is 4pm really smooth sailing time this
time of year?
