50+ km NOHD (Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance): Definition.
To visualize the area, I plotted a 5 NM radius around the NASA JPL Table Mountain Facility …
Jerome DaoustGeneral MemberDelivery time is not bad, Ben placed his order yesterday and we are expecting it mid-April, in about 4 weeks time.
Glad to help others, just ask.
Jerome DaoustGeneral MemberHi Bille. Many manufacturers have the equivalent to Ozone’s “shark nose”, but with design variations and call it differently. So the Gin Carrera you flew must have called its leading edge design by a different marketing name.

2-1/2 liner. Designed to also be flown with speed system engaged, The rear riser have handles which also activate the B risers. Light version available before the regular. Intended to produce the feel of a C wing in flight, but with B safety.
Jerome DaoustGeneral MemberFor Ken… Click this link for images related to a liminal feeling, or that of solitude.
Jerome DaoustGeneral MemberThanks for the report Ken. Was there a liminal feeling (<– click link) to the day?
Where is the “Afterbay” ?
Jerome DaoustGeneral MemberThanks for compiling the tracks David.
That was a fun (and warm) day.
Jerome DaoustGeneral MemberEverything sold.
Happy transmissions !
Jerome DaoustGeneral MemberHi Manoch, I have this queue in desire of left-overs: Oleg, Bo, yourself. I will let you guys know.
Jerome DaoustGeneral MemberFor Tom… Tomorrow (Wednesday) looks good enough for flying and I will be at AJX (Marshall LZ) before 11:30 am. I will bring your radio.
Jerome DaoustGeneral MemberHi Tom, I’m answering here (I don’t have your Email address), but please continue our conversation by Email: My contact.
I have been using those UV-B5 continuously for students since 2015, so they have been reliable. I cannot think of a reason why they would stop working as you get closer to Torrey. I just noticed that I have spare/extra batteries for all the UV-B5’s (and the VX-6R), so all buyers get those bonus items.
I am reserving one UV-B5 for you. Do you want a holder for $5 more (grand total of $15)? It sounds like I’m pushing fries at a fast-food restaurant. I will have it with me when going flying, and there is a fair chance I will be at Marshall this Wednesday as you noticed from the shuttle list.
Jerome DaoustGeneral MemberToday (Sunday Feb 20) was a repeat of Monday, but even better… I launched at 2:05 pm and flew 3 h 17 min, no rough air and the best part was the late widespread lift to 6600′. I counted about a dozen PG in flight at one moment. There was also a couple learning to HG, and using a trailer behind the shuttle vehicle to bring the wing up.
Quote of the day over the radio from a worried pilot: “I’m on the BGD wing and tried everything, big ears and spirals, but can’t come down !“
Jerome DaoustGeneral Member10 am update, for flying today (Sunday Feb 20)… Looks great, come and get it!
Jerome DaoustGeneral MemberTomorrow (Sunday Feb 20) is setting up for a repeat, with an ideal forecast at this time.
I plan to arrive at the LZ at 1 pm, to allow for a slow hike up (I do it for the exercise but PG rides are continuously available) and launching around 2:15 pm (3:15 pm and after will offer smoother air).
If you are new to the site: P2 and radio required. Good launch control.
Jerome DaoustGeneral MemberAfter a few weeks down, the Crestline PTZ live cam is back up. I believe Dan has been working at it, thank you!
