More Concordia Slope Flying on Sunday
Posted by Mirko Bodul on Mar 31, 2008, 21:30
Chris and I arrived about 11:00 AM near the fisherman statue. The wind was more from the south and I thought that we might be better off flying from the bowl on the north end of Concordia, since the wind came more from the right than on Saturday. So we drove over there, parked, and I set up my 100” Dynamic, which I use as a test plane for first flights when the wind seems light. Temperatures were again about 38 F with a gray sky. This area was somewhat muddy compared to the south end, but it had a larger landing area.



Concordia, for the First Time in 2008
Posted by Mirko Bodul on Mar 31, 2008, 21:10
We had blue sky at Concordia on Saturday, starting at about 11:00 AM with Greg joining around noon and Dave somewhat later. Winds were ESE, about 13-15 mph, with whitecaps on the water and 38 degree temps. Not a raging wind but plenty of wind to fly my heavy Wizard, even later in the day when the whitecaps disappeared.



Wisconsin Slope Safari - Mini Version - UPDATED

Dave K and I had planned to take a trip to South Dakota this weekend and so he had a couple of days off from work. It is hunting season in SD and rooms are few and far between. Our favorite motel in Chamberlain was all booked so we decided to stay local. With the opening of our new site at the Omega Hills landfill it was a safe bet that we would get some flying in if there was wind.



Sloping the AvA at Concordia 09-03-07

This was the final stop on my LEG Slopefest weekend. When I past Downtown MKE I saw that the wind was light from the East and, even though I'd just driven about 450 miles I decided to zip another 10 miles past the house and look at Concordia.



Flying With Garwood
Posted by Greg Smith on Jul 24, 2007, 23:30

Not quite like I'm With Busey but still fun none the less!

Anyway, I had the opportunity to meet Dave Garwood, Andreas Mergner and a local from North Adams named John at the Mohawk Trail launch site in the Berkshires near North Adams, MA.



On the first day of my summer vacation I...

Well, on the first day I drove, to Virginia, then to the Carlisle, PA for the Polecat Aero Challenge. So, on the second day of my summer vacation, I woke up. I went down to the flying field to fly my DLG. Then I landed out. Well, not too often and the Polecat Aero Challenge was a really fun event.

Spring Slope Soaring in Milwaukee
Posted by Greg Smith on May 12, 2007, 11:09
Hi Folks! I've been a bit slack about local slope reporting. Not that there hasn't been some flying just that it has usually been me alone or with that local dog walker, Mirko, watching.



Mid-April South Dakota Slope Trip
Posted by Greg Smith on May 1, 2007, 22:23
I got in an early trip to South Dakota in mid-April. I met Emil, Rob, Dan and Reiner (SP?) for some SD slope action.
