There are no cu's to the north so Larry and I decide on a task
first south southeast to Wallaby first then back north up to Baron and home to
Quest Air. The wind is forecasted to be 8 ro 11 mph out of the west. Larry is
towed up first and by the time I get towed to a forming cu to the west northwest
I hear that he is low and struggling to... mehr

I don't fly alone. Unless I have someone to share the flight with, I don't see
any reason to get into the air. Unless we have a task that we are all working to
accomplish, I might as well stay at the flight park and get some work done.
I'm interested in communication and working at it to make it work well. I have
had good communications at... mehr

I'm off first for the first time this season at 12:30. There have
been cu's all morning. The air is full of moisture and it is hard to see very
far. Two ATOS pilots and Greg then Larry fourth off makes for a bit crowded
launch conditions.
Greg and I hook up but Larry doesn't get the lift that we are in and sticks with
the ATOS pilot from... mehr

So why pay for anything when you can get the news on Facebook?
The Oz Report continues to use the public radio funding program, give them the
news and then ask them to pay for it later. Well, at least you know what you are
paying for.
Both Facebook and we have to pay for servers. We get some advertising revenue,
but we keep the rates low... mehr

The idea is for a very rapid indication of lift and sink without
the delay of some filtering systems (although it does filter).https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/xc-tracer
XC Tracer is an advanced flight instrument for paragliders, using
data from an 9-DOF IMU, from a pressure sensor and from a GPS to compute the
real time climb rate and... mehr

Al Bowers: We have one gentleman here who did some work in ground-collision
avoidance.It turns out that almost half of the fatalities in airliners around the world
are caused by collision of a perfectly capable flying aircraft just flying into
the ground. In the United States we call... mehr

The forecast was for blue skies and light northeast winds and that's what we had
all morning. We waited for a few cu's to show up and we saw some to the north.
The T-skew showed that it was possible for cu's to appear, but nothing like two
days ago. These were little wispies.
Larry took off at 1:35 and I was behind him at 1:40. We were let... mehr

The Oz Report reports on hang gliding around that world. We pilots are all
members of a tribe. We recognize each other as members of the tribe, even though
we also know that we have significant differences - language and customs.
We share time together and we share a common enterprise. We share a love of
flight and a desire to be proficient... mehr

The Florida Ridge to Frostproof.

Was trying for the Ridge to Wallaby. I bombed on my first tow and
needed a relight to get on my way. Really nice flight, cut short as the area
north of Frostproof was all shaded. mehr

Was circling there I noticed sailplanes coming through on a coarse
line for the senior comp that they are holding from Seminole glider port. There
were about ten that I saw and all but one passed a grand below me and then when
they were about a half mile past the cloverleaf they all joined in one monster
thermal and they... mehr

Man can not live by bread alone. This is a statement of the fact that earning a

community. Community requires that members make the community work by providing
their labor freely to the other members of the community. Not for their
individual profit but for the good of... mehr
