#178


Nice long flight! I think I have all my electrical issues resolved. First the new (used) Garmin 176-c arrived, second I installed the tiny tac that Matt gave me and last the starter battery took a charge when I remembered to open the circuit on the master panel.
The wind was light and variable...so variable that when I tried to launch it had shifted 180 degrees and I aborted after draging the wing downwind for half the field. Second attempt was fine and after a long runoutIwas up and cruising.
Nothing really to note except that I came in really hot...I glanced at the GPS and was doing 26 mph when I flared for touchdown.
