Can't beat that! Except maybe going from 18k to below sea level? Anybody for a landing in Death Valley? I flew a F1A towline model glider at the lowest point in Death Valley with 60 seconds on the d/t timer and found a nice bump before launching. It almost made it to MSL before the d/t popped and it came down. Does that count? -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
