Sunday was a good and challenging soaring day. We had a total of 26 flights with several pilots staying up over an hour and reaching altitudes over 6000 feet with climbs reported over 6 knots. Windsheer at about 100 feet agl on the east end of the field kept tow pilots and glider pilots using all their skills and training as they transitioned through that turbulent area. With winds out of the north, most tows were released north of the field. The ballons guys came out and launched at about 6:45. A very nice day.
There wasn’t much of a response of
interest. I will be out there later this morning and if enough
people show up, I can tow.?? Saturday weather is showing rain.
Sunday should be a good day for training and local flights.Don
Gary, I should be able to be out
there to help with the oil change. Also, I will be going out
tomorrow (Wednesday) to?? put new wheel bearings in the nose
wheel of the towplane. I will need at least one able body to
help get the nose wheel off the ground so it can be removed and
replaced. Otherwise, I will have to plan on another day.Don
John. What are settings you use for vMeye to connect to the webcam. Specially the mobile port and the dvr user ID? I’m having trouble connecting.

I was wondering about that since we’ve not heard about any fatalities at Beloit.Mike HurdJim, yes the meeting is still on for tow pilots and instructors. Just no flying today.
