    Looks like our little group made a couple of cameos starting at 2:44 :)

    Youse guys gave me the encouragement I needed to claw my way up from the stand pipe to BB. Then I could tag launch to close my little FAI triangle. The entire low save/return to launch lasted 1:20hrs. And it was all fun.

    Good grief Tom! I’m glad you have an LSA on the way and look forward to swapping aerial photos/video of one another downrange where it’s more scenic. I hope the club gets a new candidate for Safety Officer. I guess I’ll vote again whenever this gets sorted.

    Thanks for keeping our LZ attractive and functional so we all want come out and fly. Why not post your recent landing videos so everyone can see how easy it is to touch down now without tripping?

    I prefer to think of Elsinore along these lines…

    Happy Holidays, Jack!
    I’ve been keeping an eye on Elsinore conditions.
    It’s been over 4 years since I last flew there.

    Thanks for the reports and the tracks.
    I met some very busy conspiracies of ravens. Use a large monitor and view the images in full screen.

    It was also a clear day with nice visibility.

    I went East to Crest Park and came up 200′ short of the LZ from 5,800′. I have past the point of no turn-backs where this was recorded.

    Fortunately I managed to extract myself without assistance.

    I wasn’t aware of it until the next day that I was flying while positive for COVID. I’m not sure that it affected my flying one way or the other. The current version is like a really bad head cold. I’ve had 6 vaccines and this was my first positive test.

    Wil Brown from AK on Zeno 2 (blue) + yours truly on Icaro Alto HG (green).  Really smooth and pleasant autumn day. Sadly, my Hero 11 Black went bye-bye over Sugarpine Mtn along with an hour of 5K flight footage.  Next time I use a leash.

    Thanks Bille,
    I had the day wrong. This was Sunday 9/24 and not Saturday the 23rd.
    I sledded on 9/22 so this made up for that.
    Sorry if it was rough on 9/21.
