Glad I found this excellent resource. Previously had a Phantom (first generation) - what a huge change and a lot to learn!

I just started on the forum, howdy, I'm close to Tahoe also, maybe we'll cross paths sometime.

New M2P here too (a few weeks). I’m on the west side, about an hour from Yosemite.
When I saw your intro line it reminded me of something I noticed while studying the sectional to get practiced up on interpreting it. In the Reno are there is the following warning:

”Magnetic disturbance exists in the area extending 50 miles or more NW W & SW of Reno, Nevada. Magnetic compass may not be accurate at low altitude”.

Yup, thems big mountains with lots of iron filings within (maybe a big bar magnet too :c). When flying bigger things than the M2, I'll admit to not paying as much attention to the compass as before we had all the newfangled navigation equipment, still I've never notice it going bonkers, as with some stories about flying in the "Devil's Triangle". Here's my ASH26E over Douglas County (Kingsbury Grade is forward of the glider, Wally's Hot Springs resort is off the right wing). Disclaimer: Picture not taken with M2 in follow me mode!

Ahhh, good to know. And your last sentence really made me laugh .

Thanks for the info. Something to be aware of.
