    Sorry I can’t join / help Saturday ( the best WX), due to another commitment.

    If next day Sunday 9-15 has the interest of others in possible Winch launches,  i can help get that going.

    I hope there is chance for Winch launching, as last Sat 8-31 was quite
    busy,…. I was only able to get 1 winch launch dual.

    good….that’s because me and Mark R did the 8-31 sheet ! A bigger problem
    was that 3 SSI members took themselves off the signup sheet…

    I’ve been losing my ability & some great winching opportunities for 6
    weeks, so I’d like to plan to help with the team on Sat . What condiments
    are we short of, to compliment Don’s main?

    Good remimder!  Probably fell out pocket of pic or Retrieval crew after glider landing?

    PS: The radios must be placed Gently into recharge rack, too.  Ensures good recharge contact orange light !

    For those who fly on Saturday 7-24, if someone could stick the 1000 gallon
    Fueltank for present 100LL fuel level, it would help me, since I haven’t
    been able to concentrate on field Ops lately. Just email me the number…,
    thanks

    Tip on the 1-26 Comm: John, i flew 82H on 7-13 and the radio keys with PTT
    button, with silent carrier , no voice modulation. A boom mike situation?
    However, Mark R. and Logan T. have flown 82H in August, and may have a
    better update.

    Sounds like much fun! That high pressure ridge set you guys up right.
    PS: will the 1-34 single place , now be a short term ssi asset?

    To Rich W.
    I don’t think your assessment of the 2- place glider from Sylvania, is
    appropriate,
    first, because the 1-34 glider 1-place, JUST CAME BACK ON LINE. Maybe you
    don’t know , but it was privately owned by club members, and came back
    available, THIS SPRING. So don’t say that members, low-time or high-time,
    would not get use of 1-34. I am planning to try & use 1-34, & similar with
    PW-5, barring other issues I have.

    Second, nobody can tell how “low-use” a Lark or Any Other 2-place would be.
    Have you soloed the Krosno yet? If not, do it.
    SSI does not have have the L-23 2-place anymore, so what’s your suggestion?
    How about some positive feedback with an alternative. And what does a short
    season have to do with anything?? Burke
