    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.

    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.

    Nicely done, Erik and Logan. Congratulations! (Hope the bucket-bath was
    warm). Very good for Don, too!

    I was your Towpilot for your solo!. Pretty gentle on the turns for you, I’d
    say! Nice solo flight, from theGoPro view.
    PS: don’t forget to announce your release over the radio….the C182 has no
    rear visability.

    I believe I can help Ops for Thurs., (sorry on late reply)

    Can aero-tow if required.  But would like to get at least 1 soaring flight in by 4pm, …could tow private-ship members first.

    Great news you were able to correct the errors at field, Greg.  There must have been a rush to get out?

    All 3 ideas seem great! Corkscrew stake has its engineering advantage.
    Anything to save the exposed aircraft
