Thanks for posting. Glad you weren't seriously injured. And JR is absolutely right. Never let the basetube hit the grass before you flare. Believe it or not, you are lucky.

I definitely Consider myself lucky. I'm glad I didn't break any of my limbs.

Nice write up, Tev! One thing I learned the hard way was landing in tall grass/hay. Under no circumstances can you allow the basetube to touch the grass/hay as you're gliding over it. You must treat it like it was solid ground. Otherwise, the moment the basetube settles into the tops of the grass/h...

Tev, We appreciate you writing this up and glad you are on the mend. When your mind says it doesn't feel right, listen to it! I was one of the pilots that broke down my glider at launch. I have always told myself that if it doesn't feel right, don't do it. There is no shame to walk away from launch...

When you say you have "medical insurance", do you mean you have specific additional coverage for flying HG/PG, including medevac? Or is it just regular coverage for "normal-people"? Well, I'm in the Air Force so they pretty much pay for everything. I'm not sure how it works on t...

I plan on being at the Pulpit as well.

Hi everyone, although I think the online forums and google groups board is a great way to keep in touch and coordinate our flying intentions, I think there is a much better way which allows for instantaneous communication Between all people. It would be great if this caught on as it would make commu...

Awesome. That sounds like a good plan. The Pulpit is looking great for Monday. Bacil, do you have a # I can reach you at? Tevni here. 916-917-8421.

Pulpit looks great on Monday but not so promising this Saturday.

The weather isn't looking great for Saturday. Looks like there will be a small launch window with northerly winds between 11:00 A.M and 1:00 P.M. then it shifts East.

Where are people flying this Memorial Day weekend? May 27-29.

Nice! Sounds interesting. Hopefully I don't have to work this weekend...

I'm at the Woodstock LZ. looks nice.

I'm interested too!

Hi guys, once I fill out my waivers, can I bring them with me before I fly? For those who don't know, I'm a H3 who just moved to New Jersey from Northern California. My name is Tevni. I'm Looking forward to flying with you guys this weekend!

Ok, disregard, I found it on the Hyner website.

Hi, what is this Sac that you speak of? Thanks!
