Long Weekend Flying in Lumby
People stated rolling in Friday afternoon.
Louise and Brian went up Saddle and both managed about an hour in strong sharp lift.
By Saturday we had 10 campers at the Freedom Flight Park and there were lots of other flyers around eager to soar but it wasnt so good at Coopers. Sunday there were some good flights around the course for anyone who was ready. Many went to Baldy for a flight back towards Lumby. Monday the window opened up early and some 25-30 flyers got good flights around the course. Some gliders were over launch shortly after 10am!
Peter Hamming corkscrewed his Freedom from launch to 8000' in under 10 minutes and it was good to see Tim Staal back at his old home base getting some good air again.
Anyone who waited too long got caught on launch in the normal wind switch at about 2pm. A good reminder to go when its good!
It was great to see and hear the energy around the fire again every night! Good official start to the season!

2010 Canadian National Hang Gliding Poster is Done
This is just HOT off the Press
A 11x17 full color poster will be given to all entrants of this event as a souvenir.
Please print off an 8.5 x 11 on your printer and post it at your local home, office, club house, pub or hanger.
Local awareness of these national events is good publicity for our sport.

If you would like a higher res version please let me know.
The Pilot is local Lumby Air Force Member Luc Mailloux launching his new Wills Wing T2C in prep for the 2010 nats.

Peace and Plenty of LIFT

May 15 is a good day at Coopers
The sun brings out the crowds today
Aprox 25 gliders fly.
Some several times.
9 hang gliders on launch.
I had a student do a high flight so I am close to last off for a test flight in a new Wills Wing U2.
a bit of work to get up as the wind has shifted to a northerly flow and the lower thermals are like bullets.
After reaching 6000 feet I am on course and finding no shortage of lift at all turn points.
The U2 has a very good sink rate, climbs well and tracks very well at high speed. Some minor low speed adjustments to make and this wing will be super sweet!
