Really nice and convenient Jim, can't wait to see it in person


BTW this is my SAFETY MOMENT : for everyone that will attend, DO NOT FORGET TO CYCLE YOUR BATTERY BEFORE A FLIGHT AFTER A LONG WINTER!

Len - I have never seen your trailer so empty. It looks.... un-natural Glad it only happens once a year.

Will be watching posts.

Jeremy,

It gets dark around 7:30 pm our time, we just switched to daylight savings time Saturday night, so it will be staying light longer now 😎

[Swiss1]

Don't want to jinx it but Friday and Saturday are looking like boombastic conditions!! Strong winds for ridge soaring on Friday and Strong winds with huge thermals Saturday. Get your ballast ready...
