Yesterday, April 18, was an unusally good lift day here in New Jersey.
For the last year, the longest flight I could get with my 4 ounce 35"
span bug was 5:25 minutes. I must have had a half dozen flights
between 4 minutes and the 5:25 minutes flight.
The field was dry - hadn't rained in a week. The night before was cold
(in the low 40's) and the high temp for the day was around 80 degrees
with light winds. Perfect conditions. My third flight was a 7:15
flight. The fifth flight was a 11:35. The bug was at near speck out
altitude around half that long flight.
Fantastic. I couldn't believe it.
Anyone else getting long flights?
