Hours are just short of 40.  Coldest I have flew is 35 and warmest was 115.  It got cool yesterday just before dark.  If things work out today will be doing another cross country. About 1.3 hrs one way then longer route home

Fun video, Les!

Did you get Leonard's blessings before installing the forward-sweep wings??? They really make your bird climb nicely.  :D

Scroll down to the embeded player.  Look to each side of the scene in the player.  The wings appear swept forward because of the fish-eye lens in the gopro.
