This is a flight sequence from Saturday at NARAM.



Ignition....



and lift off.



The Tercel arcs over.



Good tracking smoke.



Ejection charge and separation.

Glider and booster begin separate lives.



Booster under chute.



Glider begins life on its own.



Slight thermal.



A turn to the east.



Perfect path.



Another thermal. After this it disappeared behind the roof of the shelter. :cool:

Cool. Do you or anyone else have a static closeup of the glider?

I don't think I do. Not naming names, but someone broke a wing off when they were unpacking it on Saturday. :rolleyes: I got busy with range duty right after I took the pics and never got the chance to get back over to the tent. :o

See my previous post in the other thread with the link to the NARAMlive website.

I do from Saturday but my camera doesn't play well with the MIL's Amish Internet here in Indiana...

Have to wait til I get home...

Later! OL JR :)

AMISH internet ?
Both the speed and cutting edge technology of a horse-drawn carriage.
All barn-raising videos with people in hideous clothing all-the-time.
Now that thar's funny and I don't care who you are !

Nah, but this is!
