The new canopy on 1BA has been installed. As the plexiglass settles, please note that latching it may require some extra patience, no pushing the plexiglass from the top or sides. We have also installed the sliding window from the old canopy into the rear canopy.

Flying with Friends at Fault Line Flyers. Our last TXSS event in 2026.
Although we flew only Saturday it was great to explore the FLF area. The FLF members built a new club house and welcomed us warmly. The club is only about 1 mile away from FireFly, a rocket company that sometimes test their rocket engines. You can also see the Austin metropolitan area when flying to the South. Pretty cool.
Although we had high clouds today 6kts thermals up to 5,500ft developed. AWESOME!

The weather continues to be inviting with 6,000ft cloud bases and strong thermals. We had a good time together.
Flying safer with PowerFlarm Flex!
J.L. Cavallera bought a new PowerFlarm Flex we are testing and using in our Blanik 5ST. The instrument is able to pick up other Flarm devices and warns of imminent collision hazards. Please, check with your CFI for more information and take good care of it. Ferenc flying a Blanik in Austria...
He reports that is was truly amazing and at the same time very different flying close to the mountains.
Flying together a FAI 300km Triangle today....!
We were able to stay together for most of the time and also saw the migrating hawks Gordon was talking about. Hundreds of them can give you a great visual of the moving airmass inside a thermal. Fun day today!
Team Guzman vs. Blanik 5ST Tire... :)
The rubber put up a good fight but was no match for the Sawzall in the end. Thank you both for changing the tire Frank and Manolo.
