John P,
Standard sized width (1″?). It has a “T” shaped cross section, not the round kind. How can I get it from you?John H DeRosa==========================On Tuesday, November 2, 2021, 04:35:05 PM CDT, Sky Soaring <webmaster@skysoaring.com> wrote:
We’ll be working in the south brush areas, not in the regraded bare dirt area. And it should be dry today. Come on out. Work is good for the soul.
Best Regards,
John DeRosaGood video. Thanks to Jim Bob for his dancing lessons.John H DeRosa(OHM Ω)On Wednesday, October 20, 2021, 05:58:15 PM CDT, Sky Soaring <webmaster@skysoaring.com> wrote:
I should have mentioned that it wasn’t just me mowing on Saturday. Nope. Greg Tomczyk was mowing the main runway and started way before me and was still going at it when I left.
Another operation was Don Grillo and John Lincoln moving dirt to make the runway’s northern border smoother and wider.
Thanks to all that help in large ways and small,
John

Steve,
Thanks for that info. I liked the phrase, “gliders often have very unique flight profiles”.
That we do!– JohnWhen I flew with Greg Palmer last week we saw some corn leaves around 8000′. Great thermal markers. Amazing that when these leaves exit the rear of the combine during harvest time they can get that high. Talk about a “low save”.I also saw a flock of soaring broad-winged hawks during their migration. I’ve soared with a bald eagle, many solo red-tailed hawks, turkey vultures, some pelicans, and other smaller soaring birds. They are even better thermal markers than corn leaves as the birds sometimes outline the boundaries of the thermal for me. I’d like to find a flock of Sandhill Cranes to soar with. Then again they flock in the 100’s together and have 6 foot wingspans so maybe not a good idea.
