Marshall, April 15, 2008

By Ken Howells at 2008-04-15 23:03

The day dawned clear before low clouds formed after 7 AM. At 10 AM Marshall was in the clouds, wind ESE 3-6, cloudbase 3800. Launched a Sport 2 175 at 10:20 into a 'hole' and dove. Nicely soarable already, but not strong. Chilly and dampish. Light SE in the LZ.

At Noon the clouds were higher and burning off. Lots of good lift to 4500 or so. Switchy in the LZ and I had to hunt for sink to core to get the T2 154 down.

Big O Flies from the E

By John W at 2008-04-16 12:58

Owen had a good flight at Elsinore last week, the day that Dave and I put fingernail marks in our control bars.

Fortunately, the cameras I strapped to his Talon didn't jinx him and made for some good video. I'm looking forward to getting his T2C next.

Here's the youtube version

Dave's HD Wallaby 08 Video

By DavidAldrich at 2008-04-16 19:59

Well here it is folks, sorry it took so long, but I was too busy flying

Like my other videos, it comes in 2 flavors:

1. Streaming Flash, 540p video, located on my videos page: http://www.designbydave.net/hanggliding . I made a little improvement to make the site load faster.

2. 720p .mp4 HD video via bit torrent http://www.designbydave.net/hanggliding/Wallaby_08.torrent Plays best in VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
