5+ miles with tweaking

Flights: 120-3

I got 3 flights in on Wednesday. We’ve been working in the mornings and evenings and taking a break when the conditions are great for flying.

The air was big early on. I made it a point to fly to the Scripps Pier and then all the way to bathtub rock. That’s the extent of the easy flying at Torrey, nearly 5 miles.

I wanted to try a few wingovers to see where my abilities were before the SIV clinic, but I didn’t have enough altitude for any comfort. I was pretty pussy about that. That’s why I need that clinic. It doesn’t hurt that all these clinics are now business trips for me.

2 more flights without much to add. I’m landing deeper now at Torrey and looking to get out of my gear just before I land.
