Today looks good. Anyone interested in an operation today? Any tow pilots available? I will be out around 10:30.

Is the carb heat on the tow plane fixed?

FYI, the carb heat on the towplane has been repaired and is signed off in the ac logbook by Larry. It is flyable.

Day recap: Today started out slow with Lawrence and I mowing the grass around the hanger and gliders. Then we got 3 birds in the air with Lawrence flying the 1-26c ,John Osborn flying his pw5, and myself flying the clubs pw5. John and I flew together for a little before he flew back to the airport after around 2 hours. Finally I pushed on for a total flight time of 4 hours and 51 minutes before landing at 6:37. Overall a great day at the field doing work and flying.

Wednesday, July 13th, 2022 at 8:57 am #12289John DeRosaParticipantNick – Almost a 5 hour flight. That is GREAT. Congrats!
If you are working on badges the Silver badge has these requirements;
– Silver Altitude is a 1,000-meter (3,281-foot) altitude gain above an in-flight low point.– Silver Duration is a 5-hour flight time after tow release.– Silver Distance is a 50-km (31.07-mile) cross country flight.This is well within the capability of the PW-5. Silver badge allows you to fly in contests.John H DeRosa(OHM Ω)“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”– Albert EinsteinOn Tuesday, June 28, 2022 at 08:28:29 PM CDT, SSI <webmaster@skysoaring.com> wrote:

I am unsure that first getting a Bronze badge is needed to work on your Silver badge but I might be wrong.
What I do know is that if you do a successful fly a “leg” of a Gold (or Diamond) badge, such as a 300km flight, that same flight will get you the Silver (and Gold) distance.So I assume you can jump right over the Bronze!John H DeRosa(OHM Ω)“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”– Albert EinsteinOn Wednesday, June 29, 2022 at 09:41:53 AM CDT, SSI <webmaster@skysoaring.com> wrote:

Nick,Congratulations on a nearly 5-hour flight. It was fun sharing thermals with you. After about 2 hours, my butt was getting a little sore, so it was time to put Z2 on the ground.John O
