    3 different experiences in 1 flight…

    The 1st hour had strong lift (600-1300 fpm) and windy on launch(es). I reached 5300′. See the video of my sporty one from the new Cone launch (thanks Cory). Screen grab…2025_03_10_CA_Soboba_Jerome_Cone_Launch_Still

    The 2nd hour had the wind direction change from SW to a less favorable South, and lift was reduced. More pilots launches as some had waited for the wind/lift to reduce.

    In my flight’s 3rd hour, the wind gradually returned to SW and smooth lift kept increasing until I had to leave for sunset, while watching a small-but-smoky fire blaze across the valley.

    About a dozen pilots got their fill.
