Had a great flight, the Firestar ran beautifully. There are a lot of bigger RV's, GA & Warbirds at this fly-in, but the Firestar seems to always draws a crowd. WX got a bit hot & windy on the flight back and took me 2.5 hrs to get home (about 110 miles). Climbed to 4800 agl & still was into 800 fpm thermals! Ended up dropping down to around 700' & just enjoyed the scenery all the way home. Flew a total of 5.7 hrs, just about as much as I've flown all year!
