weekend gliding
Not great soaring conditions but at least no rain (or snow).
Got the HP-14 rigged and was able to leave it in a club hangar
spot so it will be ready to go next weekend as well.
I finally managed a somewhat nicer landing in the HP-14.
Paul Bikle's HP-14T with 17.3m span got a measured 36.3:1 L/D ratio.
My flight logs from the weekend (fairly still air) seem to show
my HP-14V is getting a bit over 35:1. Not bad considering I didn't
tape it up and it is only the standard HP-14 16.7m span.
