                      WX calling for scattered clouds, 5-10 kt winds out of the WNW.

                      Who else feels like flying? Is a tow pilot available?

                          It was a beautiful day today. Several pilots made it out to fly. Present were Don, John D, Andy, Larry K, Denny, Kees and myself. Did I miss anyone? Of course, thanks to John Scott our tow pilot for the day.

                              John Lincoln stopped by to complete the triad of John’s. It was a very good soaring day for late October!

                              Bob Steffans stopped by too,……& got some instruction with Larry.

                              A pleasant surprise day for me. Able to fly the SSI 1-26 for the first time!    A little ground-coaching & persuasion by Steve, Larry, John S., helped seal the decision. The last time I flew a 1-26 was 1991,…..so I was quite (ahem) rusty after 27 yrs.

                                  I made a video of John and my flight that we flew on Monday. John is OMH and I am F2.

                                  We went from Sky Soaring to Poplar Grove to Dacy and back to Sky Soaring. About an hour and 15 minute flight. We flew together as a team. What you don’t see are the clouds. We had scattered clouds at 4500 feet MSL and light winds out of the WNW.
                                  This video is made using the SeeYou software that uses our IGC data file recorded by our onboard GPS flight recorders.  I have posted it on our website photo gallery here: http://skysoaring.com/users-post-gallery/ or on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/cG4HVb-Kp7Q

                                      I saw the video and it’s great.  Can you post it on our web page??

                                        Nice software. Do either of your private ships have on-board electronics that will notify you of other gliders on 1202 code, or GA on 1200?   D.B.

                                            Yes Denny. We both have displays that show ADS-B, transponder and flarm traffic. Flarm is a glider only short range transponder.
