General MemberCool to see the concrete in yesterday. Structure is looking great.

General MemberGood news, George!
I had a “low save” on my wallet yesterday too. It must have worked itself loose in my pocket and fell out the second I touched down in the LZ. I went into panic mode after I discovered its loss but lucked out and found it after walking the LZ in the dark :)

General MemberPage for the light version is now on the NOVA site here. Since it’s a “2 1/2 liner,” they recommend using a B3 stall instead of big ears, which produces a swept-wing configuration. Supposedly, this gives a more stable configuration and more sink than big ears. Interesting video on that here.

General MemberThat’s one hot lookin’ leading edge.

General MemberAh – I missed that detail. That makes sense.

General MemberAnother pilot saw this and posted to the SD group. Looks like the NOTAM was cancelled? I have not yet confirmed.

General MemberIn this case, it was lucky that someone was finally able to get ahold of the pilot. I and a couple others on the same frequency were above the downed pilot and none of us saw movement – just the wing spread out on the bushes. Since there was no word from the pilot and we were all seeing the same thing, I believe the request to call 911 was already issued on the radio, but I think someone at the LZ was able to establish comms with the pilot and the all-clear went out a few minutes later. Overall good outcome and was good to hear that there were no injuries.

General MemberPush out, head back closer to terrain, go to the casino – didn’t matter. Later into the afternoon, you couldn’t lose anywhere. Pretty fun.
