First flight this season

Flew LS8 at Williams for 2.5 hours. Before the flight, I had to remove a 5.5 lbs weight from the tail to keep the CG within limits because I lost a lot of weight during winter. The flight was okay. Just hanged around in the valley between 1,500 ft and 3,500 ft. Some people went to mountain, and did longer flights.

The glider still needs some minor work before the season really begins.
- Replace sheepskin seat cover
- Repair PDA mount
- Replace Mylar tape
- Replace wingtip skids
- Put contact paper under ailerons
