Willy and I flew from the knuckle behind thermal factory. Very close to the Back of the Rack launch. It was the first time this site was launched I believe and I think it is a far better launch than the traditional Back of the Rack. Unfortunately we were there with poor timing. Earlier in the day cumulus were forming but by the time we showed there were only thick high clouds. It made for a really beautiful very close to terrain extended sled ride. After landing the high clouds seemed to move on and we saw birds climbing. Great training though in very light lift flying my IP6 and Willy flying the Alpha.
