Sunday? Looks like Sylvan might have some fun wind to use from 10:30 to 3pm. Dieter just got a hall pass, I've got one and we thought we'd check to
see if any southerners want to come halfway again otherwise he and I will hook up up north here.
kitedelight - you were down there (Red Deer / Sylvan) this past weekend weren't you? What was it like?
I'm itching to see the local gang at Cooking but if I had to choose between seeing them or seeing PKF family - PKF wins out anytime ; )

have fun Gentlemen...i'lll be flying helis in wife's (school) gym. :bigok: mac-i just added a mCPx v.1, to go with the v.2, it is mint and came with
MH CNC swash, grips, shaft. Derek got his Walkera VD0040(?) it's a 500 flybarless series CP and we had it out (hovering). Cool.
also swing by and pick up the 7.3 Frenzy if you want. it could use some dust shaken off.

Sunday at Sylvan is good for me too :Ange09:
Forecaster is showing 2-5cm fresh snow there tonight and tomorrow with N30 winds
kiteboyza - 1-3-2012 at 01:28 PM

You guys still want to meet at Sylvan? I could push on to Cooking if you think it will be better up there. I need to get out on a wide open snowfield.
It is Chinuuking down here - high of 9C today. I got picked up by a 50kph gust while turning with my fully depowered "not lifty" 8m Access yesterday-
gotta keep it lower ... Not enough snow cover for a soft landing but at least I avoided the dog poop minefield.

No wind up here for tomorrow - Sylvan still looks like the best bet. Peaks at a whopping 13knots around 2pm I think.

Meet you at the A&W at 10:45 ish :bouncy:
kiteboyza - 3-3-2012 at 01:21 PM
sounds good, if anybody has a spare spreader bar hook bring it with please! See you at A&W
macboy - 3-3-2012 at 06:53 PM
Looking forward to it - and seeing D again. Kite is on it's way here this evening for you, will bring it along and we can look it over together
tomorrow. Saw a few optimists out on the lake (Cooking) today.

have fun guys! it looks like this little bit of snow we got this week will be melted after next weekend +8 forecast and it continues on to the rest of
that week. Its the ultimate new kite curse for me after buying my 9m Frenzy just for this winter and have yet to use it.
kiteboyza - 3-3-2012 at 09:24 PM
you wanna come down here, we got plenty snow dude and it aint gonna melt quick
kiteboyza - 4-3-2012 at 07:56 AM
snowing good here adn I know Sylvan took a nice dump...gonna be a crappy drive but winds and snow...:wee:
shaggs2riches - 4-3-2012 at 09:10 AM
I wish I could come down for this. Found a decent field and got set up. As my luck woils have it, the wind dropped from 24km to 13km. Checked the
weather on the hour, and it showed 17km soon to be less for the rest of the day. Guess it wasn't meant to be.
kiteboyza - 4-3-2012 at 07:39 PM
what a cracking day...nice to see the Alberta crew again and we had decent wind! :bigok:
canuck - 4-3-2012 at 10:40 PM
It was great to see you guys again and share fresh snow and good wind. Overnight snow was almost all melted when I got back to Calgary. Hope your
drive home was not too bad.
