    Like Jeff said: “helpers to help lower down the pole to the ground”.
    I didn’t have help once and the pole went into free fall and mashed the cage.
    That required removal and repair adding additional days to the sock replacement.
    You only want to visit That place once!
    There is a New replacement sock locked up in storage at the shade structure.
    Here are the specs for the other windsocks:
    Cloud: 18 inch dia
    Marshall: 24 inch dia
    The 750: 18 inch dia
    (part numbers from aircraft spruce)

    We really need to have ADS-B onboard. Haven’t found an affordable option for it.
    Here’s Mark Hoffman on 9/30/2008.
    Looked close to me.

    Welcome back Ken,
    I remember flying with you something like 15 years ago.
    We were both flying Paragliders off Regionals while Will’s Wing was test flying.
    Good times!
    Looking forward to our next flight together.

    First off, Welcome!
    Be sure to watch the weather page on this site. Sunday looks good Saturday maybe not.
    You are looking for South to West winds. Anything North is not good.

    Second, Alan is spot on. The MetroLink Train is Awesome! and on weekends it’s $10 round trip.
    https://metrolinktrains.com/ticketsOverview/discounts/metrolink-$10-weekends/

    $10 Weekends. Ride anywhere, Saturday or Sunday for only $10

    Looking forward to flying with you.
    Cheers
    Dusty

    Did you notice that the characters are backwards?
    This is a “print transfer” from calculations written on a flat form board.
    Pretty Cool.
