End of Season


We are wrapping up our stay at Casa del Piloto, Tenancingo and had a dinner party with the local pilots last night.

The flying has been best at the end of the day 4- 5:30 pm, with easy altitude gains to 1000 + meters over launch, soft thermals and sunsets. The afternoons thermals are strong, so we usually avoid launch 1-3 pm, except yesterday when i decided to give it a go at 1pm, it was a roller coaster from 6 meters lift to 4 meters sink..... Very active flying ,"top gun" flying stuff. The launch is being reshaped every day and is now suitable for top landing. Daniel Pedreza started to seed across the top half and once we are gone Daniel plans to groom the launch with 10 truck loads of fill. Daniel Villegas made us an official sign outside the house.

Looking forward to a grassy launch at the La Malinche fly in December 2008. Christine & I are home this sunday.....hoping to get some Fraser Valley spring.
