Cool. They need some neck support! My neck was hurting just watching them "look up and forward" like that while lying supine.

Not sure but it may be the temperature related.

After I got back on Saturday from Dener, I flew my PPG in the afternoon in Morgantown (PA) and I was a bit chilly at only 1000 AGL.
