vision or passion or experience made up much of this ad.... mehr

Well, actually not launching. The winds are still too strong from
the west and north west getting as high at 21 mph gusting to 24 mph. Okay for
the flats of Texas, but a bit too rough for areas with trees. The tug pilots
didn't want to tow us.
Not only that it was cold for Florida, getting to 70 degrees late in the day,
but it was below 60... mehr

While the forecast was for northwest wind, the actual wind was
west at about 10 mph on the ground, and 20 mph at 3,000' at cloud base.A sky full of cu's and lots of sunshine.
To escape the west facing launch conditions we head to Dunnellon airfield to the
northwest for launching tomorrow. mehr

The forecast looked like rain later, but the sky looked very inviting with only
rain far away to the east. We got going earlier than usual.
As of 2:30 (an hour and fifteen minutes after the first start time) the rain is
still way to the west of the... mehr

Conrad Lotten was the fastest pilot on the sixth day, most likely aided by

Stevens in third losing... mehr
