What a way to start the day. I may have to make a habit of this Left the house this morning a 6:40 am and headed down to the Black Dog Park on Cliff Road and 35W. Winds.., calm. Temp.., 28 deg's. Sky, clear and just beginning to get light. I expected Dave G to show up but got a text message that he was just passing through Waconia. What a bum Okay for you Dave, you are missing some good flight weather!

I launched the Eagle at 7:15 and once up about 500 feet, it just hung in the upper breeze. I just pointed the nose into the direction of the breeze and it just sat there, almost dead still.. I wonder what the people driving by thought as a tree line seperated me from the road so all they could see was the Eagle. Once the sun started to rise a bit higher, the wings and tail caught the reflection and just glowed Gosh darn it was total bliss and I felt very comfortable as where I was standing, there was no breeze blowing. 8)

DG finally show up about 7:45 and shot some video and 5 minutes later I brought her in for a nice landing. I am looking forward to viewing it when he gets it transferred, and maybe get it posted here. And, I plan on going down there again for lunch break!
