Spangle towing 3-14-2010

Late day start to what on paper looked to be good..... but it wasn't going to be that good. Very cold air, light switching conditions.
Finally made a decision on which road to tow from. Michele & I set up gliders while Jorge towed Vince on his paraglider. Took a long time to get the tow. Light & switchy don't work with a pg.

I towed next, pinned mid tow in a good one. Got high-stayed high. Jorge towed twice but conditions were changing. Vince landed N, Jorge landed E, I landed S, No wind. Got a little trashed when I was low coming in. Decent landing! Hands were absolutly frozen.... 38° at altitude.

Matrix is very comfy in flight, but still challenging to get upright. Its getting better. more flights should help this was # 3.
Removed the slider block to allow more head down. Well see if that helps the head down at high speed.

    What are your Blog settings to get full width on the screen? I always end up with a wide gap on each side. Any tips?
