My last flight in Boulder was 12 min. 225 ft. over launch and Golden the 9th 115ft over N.Launch & 11min. Not much at both sites but a slow improvement and more confident in the winds we have had seems like this year. Great flight and info. My last flight in Boulder was 12 min. 225 ft. over launch

I remember flying with you and TJ at San Marcos MX earlier this year. How long are you in town? I would really like to get together with you and TJ before you leave. (303-642-1408) I just registered for the Colorado Fly Week 2012 (June 30 - July 8) Villa Grove, CO. The geography of the Sangre de Cristo mountains on the east border of south park look amazing, some similairity to San Marcos. I just check Granger’s web site and saw your post, so cool.

Then ?? Any way always good to get up there. Always a tough call to fly away from the Mt. to find a thermal or stay close enough to get some figure 8s in at first. Then ?? Any way always good to

What time did you end up taking off? I think I launched at 11:10 or so, but I made it to my son's soccer game! I had a couple bumps where I stayed level for about 30 seconds. The Ascent Vario is very cool, especially looking at flight logs and comparing them with my GPS Guru Pro tracks on my cell phone app. It may be the camera lens, but you appear to stay closer to the hill when first scratching out lift than I am yet comfortable. Also, hard to tell from the video but I assume you usually use both weight shift and brakes for turns? Granger – I just saw your video from flying Saturday afternoon.

I was going to head from Denver in the early afternoon, but by that time I could see the cloud cover from here. Should have gone in the AM I suppose. Thanks.
