Ground Launch At Roach Dry Lake
There wasn't sufficient lift to get away from a 1,400' AGL auto tow, but,
still it was a lot of fun. As were the bonfire, dinner, story telling, beer drinking, etc. Here's a video taken by a camera mounted to the wingtip of my LAK-17a: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8t6...VpUEkxUUk/edit

Ground Launch At Roach Dry Lake
Don't know... This was a camera owned by one of the members who offered it
for my use. It was a short flight, since no lift, and I made sure to dip a wing to catch the encampment on the lake bed. After landing, I turned the camera off, so we're mystified as to the remainder of the flight. "Mike C" wrote in message ...

Ground Launch At Roach Dry Lake
The slow season is truly upon us... Still, I managed to sustain for 1.5
hours yesterday around the airport. Maybe I'll do better today! "Renny" wrote in message ...
