What we were hoping to bring to the Midwest HG Comp. Midwest
Spring distance flying. Kris (Grzyb) had these four flights in six days. (May
10th – May 15th). It shows how well we are located, and the possibilities in
various winds.

Details
here.

The fifteenth was another possible 200 mile day. He launched at 12:30 PM flew
for an hour and 20 minutes making 45 miles. He broke down, went back to launch,
relit at 4 PM, then flew ‘till approximately 7 PM for an 87 mile flight.

We have a SSE wind coming for Saturday. If it doesn’t get blown out, it could be
a day to fly from Hang Glide Chicago past the Whitewater Hang Gliding club (150
miles to the north). Making long flights to all compass points.
