Jaro is just below us half way into the video. We had glided out of the start
cylinder and headed north northeast to just east of the junction of highway 29
and 27. The ground was completely shaded, but we still found 200 fpm. Jaro came
in under us as two of his fellow competitors were... mehr

Cloud base was 1,100' and it was lightly misty raining. Jonny,
Dustin, Carl, and Jochen went up to test the air. The task was cancelled. mehr

In April I was experiencing problems with my Motocomm headset when
I used my Giro open face helmet. I never had problems with my older full face
headset. I used the same Y-cable in my harness and same PTT button with both
helmets, so I knew it was something wrong with the microphone and/or the cables
going to the microphone and earpieces.The... mehr

Pat Halfhill and Pete Lehmann went cross country from Enjoy field on Tuesday after the sky cleared up soon after the competition day was cancelled. The cu's started forming immediately, but Pat and then Pete took off later in the afternoon after a leisurely lunch.
It was windy and gusty on launch but the towing went smoothly and Pete mentioned... mehr

We are situated just a few miles south of Kankakee, Illinois,
south of Chicago, out on the wind swept and flat plains/prairie. Enjoy field,
the towing operation for the windy city, sits on a nondescript piece of former
farming land. It's got hangers and ponds, and an upstairs club house, and a
superb grass runway and room for RV's and... mehr

Dolly launches. I have limited experience with them and I don't
like them. Of course, you'll think, you're writing this after
Julia's incident.
But Jamie, Dave and others at Quest will know I've expressed my preference for
foot launches before. And
I've written about my... mehr

We're (Belinda, Jochen, Julia, and I) are traveling north to

The 2011 Flytec Race and Rally was a miraculous competition with
incredibly good weather, great task calling, and excellent piloting on the part
of the competitors. Jamie Shelden did a masterful job of organizing, keeping
many balls in the air and making many last minute decisions and arrangements
which are necessary with a traveling circus.... mehr

A few comments on Julia's accident.First. Because of her previous extensive international experience with
aerotowing in a cart she thought it was normal and natural to at least half the
time feel pinned to the cart when towing. She hadn't asked any experienced
