Airspeed is What You Need - DON'T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN!
From Steve Murillo (who has flow from aircraft carriers): Arthur Simineau and I decided to go to Crestline this past Saturday. Winds on launch were light and variable, I'd guess 2-8 mph, blowing mostly straight in with the occasional minor cross from the NW. I'm flying a Sport 2 155. As I approached...

Sorry for the lack of clarity...I posted this for someone who flies a ton and has launched unhooked before, and just couldn't get the website to work As my dad and I discussed Monday night, I think it's interesting to notice that familiarity seems to create unreliability with human perception. We're...

Why WiFi
I'd like to see the WiFi cost in the dues because I see value for club longevity in having the LZ a great place for pilot families to hang out while they fly.
I'm wanting bathrooms for the same reason.
