Waiting for clouds

Got up a little later today (7.00am) to check the weather. Cloud level needs to be at least 6500ft above ground to do the calibration flight today. It's at 6100ft and falling and rising.

So every hour we call to check the levels and try and decide whether to go up and try anyway. Why the hesistation you ask? Well each flight in running costs is around $5000 so going up just for sake of it isn't the smartest thing to do.

In mean time, I've managed to setup this blog as promised and done a bit of running around.

Hopefully we get to fly today as we need get this out of the way before we can start the proper surveying.

I'll be building a travel tips page as well so hopefully this will keep me occupied during the down times.
