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.

Bob Early in the day but it looks like Zimmerman did well today in the Carolina's, nothing here in Florida as of yet, Maybe the motorglider guys will post later. Bob Sunflower guys got one in today. -- Dan, 5J 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 -- Dan, 5J 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.

ROY 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! |
