Hard to say what was best about the Open.
I came and stayed at Quest air for the first time. I had never been in any sort
of meet, never went cross country in Florida, and I had never flown more than 50
miles.
When I left, I had flown 6 days out of 7 (we kind of took the last day... mehr

A pilot landed on the west side of highway 33 just to the west of
our launch area during the Quest Air Open. This has never happened before and we
certainly don't recommend it. mehr

When I was on a final glide, I stumbled into a Florida fat
thermal. Soft and easy, it took me all the way up to 6200' MSL. Yet again I
recharged too much for a final glide. But the way this flight was progressing -
I didn't want to take any chances.

The difficulty of the flight revealed itself just after launch. I
started in weak lift east of the field, but found it challenging to maintain
altitude. There were some gliders that had launched after me circling northwest
of the field, and I decided to go for them.... mehr

Approaching cold front and before it plenty of beautiful cu's straight out of

Radar at 2:08. Goal was to be Greystone just to the northeast of Ocala.
By 2:37 the cu-nimbs have... mehr

I'd like to send this inner circle of friends and fellow crushers
the first look at the new XC Skies V3. I'm calling it an Alpha release for now

about my critique. I apologize to April for not taking her feelings into
account. mehr
