Folks,
I took my Cherokee II 104 nm downwind today in about 4 hours, lift was good in the sun, but overdevelopment was rampant. max altitude was 5500ish AGL, I should be able to claim silver altitude. Matt Michael chased me which was fantastic. Landed in an Amish farmers hay field, they were very nice and helpful, matt was there within 10 minutes. We were inspired for the next generation in crappy glider insignia: Slow Moving Vehicle Signs! Think about it! Its PERFECT. All of us with 1-26s and Cherokee's and the like oughta paint big Orange triangles on our Rudders and the bottoms of our wings. That way everyone else knows that we are slowpokes but have fun doing it! |

Slow Moving Vehicle Signs!
Think about it! Its PERFECT. All of us with 1-26s and Cherokee's and the like oughta paint big Orange triangles on our Rudders and the bottoms of our wings. That way everyone else knows that we are slowpokes but have fun doing it! If you do it right, and use the Mylar adhesive backed stuff from a sign shop, I bet it would make a decent radar reflector too...... Scott |
