I didn't feel like I had good turning ability or flare in my last flight, so for today's flight, I had installed trimmer ratchets. I thought I had tied them off in the original positions and would be able to pull in line until I had them adjusted correctly. Apparently I was wrong! I took off fine, but noticed I had too much steering line pulled in and since I had tied a knot behind the ratchet, I couldn't let it out. It wasn't an issue though, I just landed and moved the knot back about 3 inches. It worked perfectly and I stayed up for 1.5 hours!
I landed about 5:20, with a sunset of 5:30, so I used all of the daylight I had. Did I say it was a great day?
I think Scott was trying to tell me he was cold!

You can see some deep ruts worn by the cows.
These cows were following me! I didn't have any food for them, maybe next time!
I'm always amazed at the nice old houses that were left to die.
Chris and I did some formation flying.
I've always wonder what this building was. I still don't know, but it had my shadow on it!
Seniors '81!!
Can't go under it, can't go through it, we'll have to go around it...
This was a cool photo. To the right was a house, to the left was a pile of junk. I wanted the reflection of the windmill, so I took a photo in the middle!
Chris flying by a pond. There were a lot of fish jumping. At the end of the dock was a house that looked like it was being built and they just stopped.
Chris flying low.
Ever see one of those old Bugs Bunny cartoons where he sees a mirage??
Scott and Chris on the ground as Hubert flies by.
By the time we were about to come down, it was very calm!
Chris had just left a trail of smoke and Hubert did a fly-by.
It's looking good for tomorrow too! - Jack
