It is not recommended to fly with two if you are at risk of a water landing. I think I'm going back to two as a chain is only...

Sadly further from my friends but at the rate Ive been flying its not going to matter much. Elsinore a lot more and long drive to Kagel and...

Ramp
My recent track record for launches is'nt that great, sorry in fact but I agree w Greg in that steeper is better, probably in all conditions.
