  Hi All-
  
  Would anyone be available to tow today starting around noon? I have a few lessons to give, happy to give instruction to anyone else who wants to come out.
  
  Cheers

  Hi All-
  
  Looks like the forecast is now calling for 20 knot crosswinds out of the South. At 2,000 feet that number is 40 knots, also out of the South. I don’t think our poor old 2-33 did anything to deserve that kind of abuse so I’ll retract my plans to fly today 🙁
  
  Cheers

  With Tim bowing out, I’m not towing today unless someone gives me a call.

  John,
  
  Now I don’t need a tow pilot anymore… playing with my new Pipistrel Sinus Flex in Zephyrhills Florida. Motorglider with tremendous climb rate. Took a while to get used to the adverse yaw on landing with the 50 ft wingspan. Great soaring at 5500 ft with prop feathered… almost 30:1 L/D. Needless to say the weather is also a bit nicer.
  
  Tampa Bay Soaring guys were all out.. but no flying due to the rather gusty winds.
