Do you fly out of Wurtsboro?
No I came from Slatington Pa. area past Blairstown NJ . I was headed to Wurtsboro and turned around due to lots of Verga . I really wanted to head for the Catskills . I joked with a friend about heading for Gorham NH . If it wasn't for the Verga I might have kept going LOL . Thermals were close to 10kts in areas ( 1000' per minute up)
One year for my B day my wife got me a glider ride.. I still remember the silence after the tow rope was dropped. Just the sound of the wind. I couldn't even keep the wings level, darn stick was so sensitive..
Over controlling is a common thing when first learning. The faster you go the less stick input required . For the most part they’re very stable. Much smoother ride than small airplanes .
HA I ride bike past that airfield all the time on the D&L
TWSS!!
Judgement call: If the weather is improving and it's early enough in the day you might get a tow and try to fly back . Aero tow retrieves can be expensive and if the towplane is busy they wont want to tow you back until late . So it's call you friend and they come with a trailer and help you disassemble . I've only landed out twice in 30yrs . Racing has a higher likelihood of landing away from home .
