Hi, I want to congratulation Mike Kirda, he has done and excellent job re-discovering, organizing and getting this site into a world class indoor site. The air was smooth and the site is clean.Well done, Mike!
Cheers,Kurt

Subject: [Indoor_Construction] First Rantoul flying session

So the first weekend of flying is over.

We had 13 flyers total.
At one point we had four F1Ds in the air, including Al Stone, Rey, Jeff and myself.

If there is any doubt that this is a records-capable site, they were dispelled with Bill Gowen came within two seconds of the record for LPP on a test flight. His several attempts to better this came close, but he wasn't quite able to pull it off.
Larry Coslick put up the first ever flight on a sub-300 milligram EZB and did 20 minutes.

The air was beautiful both days, with no turbulence noted, even on Saturday with 15-20 MPH winds. There is drift- interestingly we noted it would be one direction right at the ceiling, but another direction 5' below.
What is certain is that the work everyone put in last weekend (and part of Saturday) sealing the hangar made a LOT of difference. The drift wasn't bad in October but it is now significantly reduced.

On Sunday morning when the ceiling temps were still several degrees cooler than the floor - normally this seems to equal pretty turbulent conditions - the first flights up a bit after 8am were very smooth.
Regards.Mike Kirda
