Thursday - Harris Hill

[Aron - Soaring]

Hello,

A quick look at Weather Underground...and it looks like Thursday could be good at Harris Hill.  Forecast showed 9-10mph NW surface forecast most of the day...

I'm interested in getting out flying if the forecast holds.

Anybody interested?

If the forecast holds, I’m in but can’t get there until after 5 PM.

I plan to be there if the conditions are good.

Hi,

Loaded up my glider this evening between bouts of T-storm...as I was tying it down outside the barn it started to wickedly pour down rain again, quickly drove in the barn for cover...is that a good omen for Thursday?

I'm trying to get up there around 12:30.

Weather Underground screen shot attached.

Cheers,

Aron,

I'll check the updated forecast in the morning and see which model is closest to actual conditions of a few hours at the Gliderport. I'll then make a decision about making the trip to Harris. Please post your ETA when you have an idea of when it will be.
Thanks.

Need some ideas for front and rear supports for this hang glider. I’m not worried about the steel bumpers.

   Thanks,

Hmmm. I'm not a HG pilot.  I fly a PG, so I don't have anything to offer here. Perhaps you accidentally sent this to me. Perhaps HG pilots in the RAF, FSF, and Hyner will chime in.

All I can think of is something similar to one of those steering wheel protectors. Something with a U on both sides that's adjustable.

Some people use these hood / trunk tie downs

I use a truck cab extender on my honda accord with a 1 ¼ to 2 inch hitch adaptor and a ladder and swim noodles for padding – see attached picture

It's looking too strong for PG flying at Harris today for me. I'll have to continue waiting for decent conditions.
