RE: [Hyner Club] 6/28/24 Jack's Report

[Aron - Soaring]

Jacks was a good time.  I'm back in the saddle on this flight.  I ended up with about 1.5 hrs and 600 to 700 over.  Pretty solid ridge lift later in the day.  Allan may do his own report but I think he said he had  about 1200 over.

During setup I found I had a bent batten on the Sting and had to bend it over my knee to straighten the bend...man those battens are made of some tough stuff...I don't know how it got bent...maybe at Lookout mtn on a landing?

After all that screwing around, plus waiting till late in the day to fly I found that in my haste of getting around I hadn't eaten anything and didn't have anything along except a stick of butter in the camper...well as odd as it seems I ate a big chunk of it just to keep from hitting an energy low...if you have to resort to that it packs some energy...it got me through!

After snipping launch for 45 minutes Aron showed up in his Ford 350 camper. He left a dirt bike at the LZ so we started to  set up up as Allan showed up.   Lots of wuffoers  asking when we were going to jump... I went first and stuggled with my harness as I worked hard to stay in buzzard thermal size thermals ... I kept sinking after hitting lift turning immediately. I extended a sled ride several minutes and it was  sad.  Allan rolled in with his truck and Aron in mine at the LZ. They figured I'd want to fly again and there is another vehicle down. Back top, the wind was picking up. .. gustier stronger 15+ so I helped wire off Allan  with Aron and he had a dramatic climb ( nearly parked but intentional) The wuffoes were in awe...    Aron got back in the saddle after waiting for a smooth lull and had a nice launch..... I'll let them chime in, cause I was beat and went home as they were golden in the south crossed ridge lift....
