Hello,

took the SuperCub for an early morning stroll around the Rockies this weekend. Here are some pictures.

Liked that solitary tree on the rock face.

I gave CumulusX a try for mountain flying (only had used it for gliding so far). Using only the ridge lift function improved the flying experience quite a bit. At 15kts wind it gave me about 500-1000 feet per minute lift/down draft flying the Cub close to the ridge. Added some nice turbulence, too.

Thanks for looking!
Manuel

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"
