Jon, After you get your 8-hour in try some DS at Brookville. That dam works real well! It is better for DS if the wind is coming off the lake so you can DS over the grass side but the rock side works as well.
Here are a couple of stories about the dam. http://www.slopeflyer.com/artman/publish/article_41.shtml http://www.slopeflyer.com/artman/publish/article_40.shtml -- Greg Smith Slope Soaring Resource http://www.slopeflyer.com US distributor for Wizard Compact II, Opus DS V, Airtech models and Leos Svoboda models. > > From: Jon Stone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2003 09:28:09 -0600 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [RCSE] Brookville Dam anyone? > > Anyone interested in flying Brookville Dam (Brookville, Indiana) for LSF slope > tasks? > > I want to work on my 8-hour slope task, and am looking for others to share the > fun with. > > > A little background information available on Brookville: > http://ohwg.cap.gov/tcss/photo/PhotoRecon.htm > http://www.slopeflyer.com/artman/publish/article_40.shtml > > The south side is the grassy slope.
