RE: Minimum airspeed
Both were flat thuds. It was dead calm and I was not running very fast, throwing left-handed and the ground was flat. Didn’t know enough about slope gliders.
I like your suggestion. Up from the pond there is a 30 to 40 ft knoll and the lay of the land directs the wind up the chute at a reasonable speed when the direction is correct.
I removed the servo tray and epoxy on the servo rails is curing now. Tomorrow I will examine and run the engine, which did not seem to be turning very hard. Today it was learned that the engine was a Norvel. In haste the engine was not tacked.
