Good evening group,  This is the time of year when it is good

to live in the NE.  This evening would have been a great one for

balloonists,  cool, crisp,  30.3"Hg.  Too good to resist, Kolb full

of gas and bugs (dabbers again?) cleared from the airspeed

tubes.  I made my first one notch takeoff.  Worked great,  lessened

my ground roll by at least 30%.  I landed at a neighbor's strip,

(Hatz owner) which needed a good mow job, to show him my plane.

The sun was hitting the edge of the earth when I left. His strip

is a humpback with an uphill run either way.  Flaps again,

through the grasping red clover and I broke ground nicely at

the top of the hump.  Retract the flaps and climb nicely at 45.

That glassy air is pure magic.

I'm a flaps convert now.
