I have looked at cutter's call nearly everyday since I left for Australia back in September of 2006 and it do not look like there have been more than 10 flyable days at kagel. Wasn't that bad... I flew about 250 Hrs last year alone. Locally and recreationally only, but that's irrelevant. Good flyin...

Gliders on Google Earth
Heeey, look what I found! Google Earth must have updated Ave S area pics, because when I was marking the launch a while ago, there were no gliders. Yesterday I was surprised to see the new look. Cool! Can you find your glider? (Click to enlarge) http://thumb11.webshots.net/t/59/59/7/89/20/2832789200...

Tuesday (9-th), when we went up, it was down again. On the way up we saw couple of vehicles (Sheriff's and a Ranger) leaving the setup area. Don't know if it had anything to do with the windsock or vandalizm in general on the top we are witnessing recently again. But I was able to put the pole back ...

I just submitted my vote in the poll for repairing the existing gazebo. It doesn’t need “just a little repair� though, but considering the budget, resources and uncertainties of new projects it is more reasonable to fix it up to better serve its function. I came to this conclusion only today, ...

Sunday landings
Sunday winds turned W-N/W and switchy in the LZ. Don't know who was filming, but came across it today on YouTube;

Two good days in a row
Both Sunday and Monday we had rare for this time of the year good conditions. Pilots got 7-8k and flew to Lukens and West Towers and in between. Dave Cutter almost made it to Mt. Wilson (again!).

Dahlsten Cup Radio
I installed a switch on my helmet recently, because I couldn't take it any longer than a few minutes.
I forced myself to listen to the whole recording. Gee, it's too sad to be funny. Makes me think we need a radio director in the board...
Thanks, Chip.
