Once again, another great day in Redmond, WA for Hand Launch fun! 11 folks showed up for the fun, with a few familiar faces missing (vacations, etc.) and some fresh new faces too! The weather dealt a pretty good wind out of the North and Northwest, which blew the thermals down the field, and left a couple of people off field on that long trip back from a four minute flight.
A large number of the locally grown Encores were in attendance, as well as some brand new XP3's from out east, and as usual, a number of own designs too! Jeff Sawyer and Dave Beardsley went home with door prizes and I think everyone went home with a satisfying day of flying under their belts.
Registration is now open for the Pacific NW HLG Regional September 14&15th. The registrations fee is $30 and We'd like to have everyone registered by August 31st! See the PNWHLGR Website for details:
