Nice couple of videos, good flying Deep thumbsup I hate it when someone turns the fan off.

day dreamer, the wind sock was horizontal and yet not enough lift to stay up?? I have struck a couple of days like that at Stanwell, wind in your face but no lift. Also it looks the same as Stanwell, even though we are 560 feet high some days if you drop 30-50 feet below the lip of the hill your going down down down. Sad

Is that the ideal time? Cause I have some work stuff in the AM and then I can make the trip out. That would work great.

Nice one Deep. Don't think I've seen any videos featuring that landing approach at Funston before. I was thinking to myself that you didn't really have enough altitude to do the usual approach in a Sport2. With the SW cross the approach you made looks like a real winner!

Nice! Thanks for sharin!
