John,

What is the HLG site record at Glastonbury? We also fly at 36' (Colo spgs) but we are at 6080 feet MSL.

Only two guys have (barely) broken 40 here.Our times are down 10-15% from sea level.

I stayed for about an hour after he flew and didn't see any glider flights longer than a few seconds. There were several kit gliders that looked nice but the kids had no idea how to make them fly. I guess this isn't too surprising when you consider that there are no low ceiling indoor glider fliers in this area other than me.
