Moved my glider to Truckee. There were some nice clouds, but no one was flying. The airport still had only 10 or so glider trailers. Met familiar faces from last year including Yuliy and Mike. Mike showed me what he worked on during winter. He made a prototype of watering machine. This machine can water both wings at the same time, automatically regulates the water flow, and shuts down by itself when the specified amount of water is loaded in the glider. I'm interested in what kind of watering systems other places use. Email me at gshibaya at gmail.com if you know of any smart ones.
Drove back to bay are with Yuliy and Mike. Had a dinner together at Chevy's Auburn.
Drove 3 hours (161 miles). This sports involves lots of driving...
