Because you do the downwind dashes, you need to abandon that high
performance Cherokee and get a better downwind dash
X-country ship such, as a GAPA PW-2. That way you will not have to
deal with such long retrieves. I estimate that with the GAPA, on this
day you would probably have made about 3 miles. Even doing a downwind
dash, this allows you to WALK back to the aerodrome from your landout
site, get your car and trailer yourself, do your own retrieve and still
be home in time for dinner. With the advanced high performance Cherokee,
your landouts are almost guaranteed to be beyond easy walking distance
from your take off location.- Hide quoted text -

a very nice thought, and quite funny! althought i dont think i have
really had a problem making it back to the airport in time for supper
on any of my flights this year.


All in fun! We have been inspired by your flights. Brings one back to
the real reasons for flying. A refreshing change from the discussions
of cylinders, rules, what type of lingus maximus glider to buy, or what
type of bluetooth or computer software/cables to get.
