Nathan took some pictures of me flying my Janco Models Avenger 2 DLG at Scott Lane Elementary out behind our apartment complex in Santa Clara. Most of the images are captured facing north, and our apartment complex is on the south side of the field.
The wind was gusting from about 10 to 15 knots, and the ridge lift off the trees was good enough for me to make a 7 minute flight at dusk later this evening.
