Hartsel

[SCOTT EVANS]

Any one in here going to Hartsel this month? Im thinking of going up there on the 19th so I dont get withdrawels. If the weather is any good that is. Whats the waiver up there. Got a K-1100 which should stay under 8000.
I know its a 3-3 1/2 hour drive from Longmont.
Oh look its snowing again.
70s in January and 30s in April. 😕

Scott, if I remember correctly, it is an 8K AGL waiver there, but they have call-ins that are pretty flexible and the call-ins allow for something like 14K AGL. It is an awesome group of guys down there.

Let me know if you are going for sure? I’d probably join you… I love flying there. Also, it isn’t near as far as you think. If you want to go down the night prior, the Buena Vista KOA has some nice cabins for a fair price.

TCO usually flies on Sundays. For this season’s dates, go to http://www.tripolicolorado.org/ and click on the calendar. May 17 is the first launch of the 2009 season.

Weather can be a bit tentative down there (up there? 8,800′ MSL) and it is worth keeping an eye on the conditions.

I’m planning on going if someone wants to carpool. It really isn’t all that far, and you won’t find many prettier places to fly. You will also see a number of familiar faces.

Wow, you are right – the do have a launch on April 19. I’m personally going to sit tight until May, though –

Hmmm, the May launch in Hartsel is the Sunday before Mayhem…
Maybe I can do the back to back weekends again… 😀
