Hi Lyle:
I was going to try and slope soar my foamy Radian 2m but I was going to remove
the prop. I thought if I just strapped the prop back it would be too tempting
to try and fly it with power (I guess a big no-no at Westover).
Anyway glad to see you and I are on the same page trying to make do with what
we have 😀
Now all we need is the weather and wind to cooperate!
Regards,
Richard B.

Wow! The predicted wind speeds have really picked up and they are calling for
them from the south! Perfect! I’m bringing my Radian Pro with the prop tied
down and a 2M Fling two channel, not sure if either of them will work but
I’m gonna bring ‘em anyways! : ) Because I’m usually up by 6 am. I will
probably end up at Westover around 9:30 am. Maybe the winds will be lighter
and I might work up enough nerve to toss one of ‘em off the cliff!! I
mean….what could possibly go wrong eh? Lol! I probably won’t last that long
anyways, so if we get more than 5 members arriving at the same time, I will
take my leave…
Cheers!
Lyle

The forecast for Westover tomorrow morning has deteriorated somewhat with
30%-60% showers. But the winds look good, 20-30 kph south. The winds may not
be that great for light planes.
I'm going to give it a go despite the showers forecast. The best window
looks like 10:30 to 1:30 after which the POP increases with thunderstorms
later. I plan to be there around 10:30.
Given the tentative interest I've received I'm a bit concerned about number
of people. So please social distance. The last thing we need is the
neighbours complaining to HCA that we are a crowd.
If a change in forecast causes me to change plans, I'll send out another
email.
