Lacombe Alberta for lunch

Time to fly again and so I decided to go north to Lacombe for a lunch at Boston Pizza.  I left at 1100 am and after a 55 minutes flight in beautiful conditions arrived.  The restaurant is only a 12 minute walk from the small town single runway airport.  Runway is 16-34, 3000 feet long, wind was light out of the West and elevation of the airport is 2780 feet.  I really enjoy the good visibility out of the Quickie Q2 canopy, looking down is excellent and forward visibility is also good with a reasonable amount of forward terrain showing.  Trim control is working fabulous with the T-tail for pitch and the roll control knob on the stick.  As I fly along as long as the air is stable, the plane will fly hands off.      After many hours of keeping my eyes glued to the gauges I now finally get to take in the view of a lifetime in a much more relaxed state.
