It was fun while it lasted yesterday. I learned to not fight the wind with the
SS, but use it per Bill's recommendation. Using the wind to hover and glide was
a lot of fun until the wind speed really cranked up.
As always, I learned something and had fun hanging out with friends. Bill also
showed me his FPV setup that he's been working on. I hope to see it in the
Bixler soon.
I am getting a lot of work done this morning so that I might make it out to
Beaverfork this afternoon/evening.
Bill, I hope your mom gets well soon.
See you all in the air.
Joel
