Getting What We Can When We Can Get It...

...or the something like that.

The Canuck and I headed out to Ed Levin today to see what the day's conditions would deliver.

Winds were light and over the back...

...so we set up...

...and headed to the ENE facing launch. But, the winds decided to trickle in from the WSW, so we headed over to the WSW facing launch.

The Canuck was first off and made his way to the LZ after boating around the 300 and 600 foot launches for a little while...(the first person to find the Canuck in this picture will be rewarded with an awesome year of flying in 2011!)

I was next to launch. Conditions made for sledders, but it was good to get in a nice solid launch and landing today...got The Monkey off my back for the week.

After our flights, I observed Kristy Hardy on her first flight off the top...she was stoked and had a good time. Once again, another observer bringing joy and happiness to the flying community...totally ACP!

Flight time: 7 minutes
