Happy canada day guys just wondering if anyone is going to the field today.??? Yesterday was soo windy i did any one go?
I was going to but then I looked at the treetops. When is this wind going to stop? I've got two new birds to try.

Friday looks excellent, with 10km north winds - PERFECT!
I'm working Thursday, but not Friday.
I hope to be at TEMAC from about 1pm to 5pm.

Ahh yes, remember when we used to fly model planes? Seems like a long time ago. June has been a bit of a disappointment. Let's hope July treats us better.
Seems like mother nature won't give us a break.... This is summer feels like fall. Omg i really hope tomorrow will be a good day to fly.
Flew over the field at noon today. Wind sock was straight out !
Winds were 330 at 16 gusting 20 knots (29 to 36 km/h)!!!!
NICE !

I was there from 9 to 10:45 am. Thought such a good day I will see a few folks.
Well, I was there all by myself. So I put the electric back in the car and out came my hand-launched glider.
The wind is about 10-15 kmh NW. There is a lt of thermo activity at TEMAC. Due to NW wind, trees West of the field became a major rotor, stay away if you're below tree line.
Wind shifts happened quite often, suggesting a strong air is forming near by. Once in a while, a thermal will found my glider and took her for a ride. But then the up rising air will dispersed rapidly at about 300 ft and I do not have the skill to work it.
Nevertheless, it was fun.
