Funston 8.2.09

Today...same as yesterday, but with a higher ceiling throughout the day. No carnage to report other than a broken downtube by another pilot.

Nice day in the air, though.

Worked on some of my racing along the cliff edge skills. That is taking some time, but I'm getting more comfortable with flying close and fast. I'm not nearly as close and fast as Dave Crafts or John Simpson, but getting there. These skills will take time as they are somewhat contrary to what my normal comfort level prefers.

I'm really happy with the truck racks and the new HG rig...should be fun to drive it down to Santa Cruz Flats...

Flight time: 1st flight ~ 1 hour, 2nd flight ~ 45 minutes, 3rd flight ~ 30 minutes
