Ahh yes, the pleasures of a sports canopy (open cockpit, to those not familiar with the breed) 1-26 on a warm summer afternoon, coring a corn husk - marked thermal, chilling out at cloud base - then barely making it back to the field after drifting downwind.... Drag, I spit in your face! Kirk 66 thats the problem with trying to get back to the airport Kirk. I had one exciting flight like that. Was out thermalling matt michael in his lark and eventually noticed i was about 4 miles downwind at 4 or 5000 feet. yikes! turn into the wind and it was like the world just stopped moving. made it back though.
