Cliffside video
I left PDX at 8:30am. The weather was awful from Cascade Rock to The Dalles. It was pouring rain and foggy. Mark Rabe send me a picture from his front yard in Goldendale at 9:30 that showed Cliffside launch was gloomy and dead wind.
Forecasts said rain ended around 10am and it should be sunny later with good wind direction. Once I getting closer to The Biggs. Everything changed from bad to good.
I few twice today, first flight l launched at 12 and flew for 40 mins and got few hundred feet above launch, second flight launched at 3pm was up for 20 mins. It seems like the best lifts was in the morning and kind of shutdown during afternoon until an hour before sunset.
Alfredo launched at 4pm (last hang to launch) and he got the flight of the day. I think the top of lift went to about 300-800ft above launch till sunset. He just landed at 4:55pm.
Also, Congrats to visitor pilot Ephi who had his first flight at Cliffside. Tomorrow looks promising for some more air time at Cliffside. Two hangs will be here.
