    For 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.

    Hi 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.

    Today (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 !“

    Tomorrow (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.

    After a few weeks down, the Crestline PTZ live cam is back up. I believe Dan has been working at it, thank you!

    The boulder was lifted by the tractor, but was the weight measured?Boulder_Lifted

    Let’s call it half a ton…Weight_Estimation

    If this gets too dangerous to manhandle (thinking of Sisyphus’ punishment), a divide & conquer (breaking up the boulder into pieces) could be done: Example methods.

    Big thanks Stan & Dan. The more data points the better.

    Glad to help Bille.

    Yes, I got 3+ hour last Saturday at a different location, so my “flying tank” is near full.

    Thanks for filling in the role Dan, you’re in a good position to oversee both flying and LZ construction which can be as dangerous as the flying.
