Sport Pilot Talk

Happy 2018, everyone. Hope it will be filled with love and joy and prosperity for all of you.

Happy New Year to all as well. It is -2 outside right now. I'll be headed out with my youngest son in a little while to go fly gliders.

Happy New Years to all.

Not as though you're going to find any thermals at that temperature!

Actually there was some lift, but not much. I have been working on a sport pilot glider add on, but todays flight for me was not in a light sport glider. My flight was the last of the day, so there wasn't even as much lift as there was earlier. With a tow to 2,000 feet I was able to stay up 20 minutes. My son made a flight earlier in the day in a lighter single seat glider. He was up 35 minutes with a 2000 foot tow.

Happy new year everyone! Looking at 18 degrees as a low here in Central Louisiana, going to be close to a record, if not a record.
