We've had a great time flying here the last couple of days. Lots of super nice cumulus development and southerly winds. Today Mark Bolt and I flew to the northeast south of the Flint airspace and north of the Pontiac airspace. The goal was to get to Lake Michigan but we only got about 40 miles: http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/para/flightinfo.html?flightId=1793782503.

The flight started at around 3 PM. We had both gone down in earlier attempts. The cu's almost overdeveloped early (high towers at 11 AM), but then settled down, then blued out, then came back for our second flights.

I'm flying a Wills Wing Sport 2 - 155 and was keeping up with and often leading Mark in his topless Aeros Stealth. We both landed in the same field after a big jump to the next cloud and not finding lift there. Mark was impressed about how well the Sport 2 did on glide.

Things are great here at Cloud 9.
