Elsinore to Andy Jackson


Zac writes:


Had my second flight at Lake Elsinore on Wednesday, and it was a
good one!



Adam Smith wanted to check out a new site, so we took a drive.


Very light winds at take off, and easy climb outs to 6,000 feet.


Adam didn't have a radio, and his phone connection didn't work, so we didn't get
to fly together. He had a great flight and after circling the lake a couple time
he landed with the sky divers at the DZ.


I headed east to go around the Marsh AFB airspace.



I had a flyby from a C17 on downwind, and then a closer buzz by a fire bomber
that deviating around me thermalling (no fires or TFRs nearby).

I cut north just west of Soboba Flight Park and got a climb to 8,000 feet to get
me across the Banning Pass.


As I hit the foothills of San Gorgonio Mountaim my Flytec 6030 batteries died
(they'd been getting low for a couple weeks). I was able to use a phone app to
assist my climbs for the last 30km, and it worked well enough that I was able to
glide to a landing at Andy Jackson Air Park - LZ.


After a few hours in the air, I was finding my new Rotor Havana super
comfortable and effortless to use, including the confidence inspiring landing
position.


Thanks to Steve Rousseau for driving and Dave Beardsley for the communication
assistance.
