Fourth contest day and getting worn out - just two flights in my glider before contest and hadn't flown in the area for four years. Tagged a beer can over the foothills and headed back. Gust bonked my head on the canopy (yes, I really do tighten my straps) and shut down the Air Glide S which showed wildly off bank and pitch on restart.
Got back with plenty of height, DID NOT CHECK WINDSOCK or look at wind arrow on Air Glide S. Landed downwind while announcing the reciprocal runway and got closer to the fence than I've ever been in a glider - still lots of room. It's been a few years since I've mixed up runways. I'm thinking I should put a geographic name with the runway number - town, river, highway... |
