Ray, Doug, ...? Forecast called for thunderstorms, it was really wet to the east of O'ahu, but cloudbase looked wonderful over the Waianae range. I was detained at home. Did you guys check it out?sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03062704709975780035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20110414.post-1156742906548929172006-08-27T19:28:00.000-10:002006-08-27T19:28:00.000-10:00Yeah, we need to get that Kailua Dump site happeni...Yeah, we need to get that Kailua Dump site happening again. I never got a decent flight there but I heard about some great ones. We need a good bomb-out LZ there though. Um, not the RC park, of course.<BR/><BR/>And Tantalus would be better if we had a decent bomb-out LZ, but I guess the park in the back is the best we'll get. The roadside pulloff is NOT a good bomb-out option, despite what some guys think.<BR/><BR/>Epics (Temple Valley) has some potential but it's a low take off and there are no good bomb-outs. Probably never going to be a great site without that.<BR/><BR/>Makua - the farthest possible drive for a site with a low launch that requires some good W flow to get started - conditions we get once a year or so. I've had some memorable flights there but it's a fickle little place.<BR/><BR/>Hang Glider Launch - not sure what's so great about that one. Unless you mean taking off towards the SE on a SE day! Like the old nearby Mad Dogs site.<BR/><BR/>I don't think of these sites as lost. Just on the back burner.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06249789335111913420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20110414.post-1156741995087356342006-08-27T19:13:00.000-10:002006-08-27T19:13:00.000-10:00I was just trying to think of some other lost ligh...I was just trying to think of some other lost light wind thermal sites. Tantalus, Kailua Dump, Epics, Makua, Hang Glider launch. They all have their good days.firedavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01898944174570618448noreply@blogger.com
