[LASS Soaring] Slope

[Ryan Woebkenberg]

Woa!  I just actually said that out loud (people never actually LOL, they just type it).  Brian, what do you do in Ferdinand?  I work within about 5 minutes of that site and live within about 15.  I too have looked at it.  My grandmother owns the farm directly behind the cleared area (it is cleared by some folks that hope to sell that land to a Cracker Barrel).  
 
Give me a call on Monday and I'll fly with you.  317.727.4921.  
 
Glad I joined this list...

In Ferdinand, IN right off of I-64 (exit 63) there is a spot that has been cleared and filled in for future industrial use but currently is vacant.  I have been eyeing this spot for a long time now but never had a good opportunity to fly there.  I had the Bat with me in case I could make it to Frankfort but it was a little too sketchy for a heavy wing so I went with the Swyft hand launcher.  I tossed it out a few time and got blown back over the top so I taped some quarters to it for ballast and got in some decent flights.  The wind was just a little off of ideal (and so was the plane) so I couldn't stay up too long but it was promising.  I will bring a better plane with me on monday when I return to finish the job I started yesterday.  Hopefully the wind will cooperate.  I was gettin' jealous of you guys having all the fun in Frankfort.  I feel better now. Brian

I must have just missed you Tony. I don't remember looking at my watch but we had to pass on the road.  When I first got there I flew for about 15 minutes and had to break for rain. Plane under the truck and about 10-15 minutes later the rain let up and the wind picked up.  I only had my Pike with me but the DS was smookin.  The grove seemed to move around quite a bit but I managed to get the wings flexing pretty good.  Nice day.
