#142 & #143 Simms

Dan & John Sieb showed up. Very light and variable winds made it hard to get the wing stable overhead. I launched to the east and the climb was very slow. Dan said the breeze had shifted at the last minute and I made a downwind take-off.
The air was very similar to the last couple of times I have flown Simms. Areas where the air is strong and weak. I also noticed some very sinking air. It's not the kind of flying where I'm comfortable using the foot steering.
Landed beautifully with the trimmers out. The wing does feel much more sporty and I'll have to fly trim out more often.
Once again two quick flights.
