John Sieb took off first ...My launch was clean partly because I layed out on the dirt with fewer weed stubs.
John and I returning to the field after sunset... but the sun was still shining at altitude
Just a few Pelicans are left at Chatfield
A side benefit of experimenting with the throttle strap is that it is forcing me to do a slow roll out. The strap is a little too wide and right now it inhibits my ability to "mash the throttle" until after I released the "A's" and rearranged my fingers I was rolling and accelerating slow which gave me so much more time to pay attention to the details. The wing comes up...release the "A's" ...stabilize the wing ... reposition the hands to get more throttle ... accelerate ... and take-off.
I'm going to trim the Velcro before my next flight and should have better throttle control but I 'll remember how it felt to get the wing stable over head at a third to one half power ....
