This is the first test of the GPS logger with my iphone on the paraglider. Carburetor problems made this short a very short, I had to stay close and flew in circles over the field.The test was a total success, it shows that this can really be used to document my upcoming cross country trips. Accuracy is not the best, but for overall trends, it does the job!

In LA for another business trip and stayed an extra 2 days to fly Crestline for the first time.First day/first flight was not great but second day was terrific soaring the upper ridge, playing in the wisps of clouds forming about the lip.
22 Mile XCWhen the tow pilot waved me off I was smack in a thermal. I was a bit peeved
because I didn't have time to zip up. I know, I'm in a thermal and my

started south but quickly lost altitude. I turned...

Flight in Southwest Orlando from Dixie Stampede LZ, just east of the Disney TFR, among the notable sites were Lake Buena Vista, Disney, Epcot, Gaylord Palms Hotel, the Marriott World Center, Kissimee, J.W.

I was a little anxious about
going out alone today but I decided that the weather was good and the
wind was ok to fly in (about 5mph). So to hell with it. I drove to mom

When I got there it appeared

coming from NNE. I set up the gear...
