Re: FAA Proposed Drone Policy
I just read the summary, I'm not going to read the full hundred+ page manifesto. All I can say is wow. My biggest problems: -Daytime only: Night flying is a big thing, and very cool to watch if you've ever seen it. -Max Speed reduction from 200 to 100mph -17 years old... are you kidding me? Most of ...

Re: Who’s Qualified to Fly Edith’s Gap?
"The argument to wait until we have more experience before we make a decision makes no sense at all." -user RichH Please explain a little further if you would like. I understand this was your concluding sentence, so it was described throughout the post, but based on what you said so far, I...

Re: Landing a Hang Glider at Edith's Gap
I am not sure, but it seems there are many pilots who have not had a chance to walk the site. For those pilots only: here is some extra information (coupled with one opinion). This is only to provide more insight, not to make any argument. User brianvh landed downwind in order to land uphill on Satu...

Re: Edith's Gap Saturday 11/30
Not flying. Still coming to look at the site. If you think that PG training ridge in Luray would work today, I may check that out (maybe flyable w/ a crosswind?) Leaving now.

Re: Edith's Gap Saturday 11/30
user Dan T, Guess I got the wrong Dan. Sorry. I will indeed drive to check out the location, with the intention of not flying (bringing glider just in case someone shows, then heads to Woodstock). I will be stopping by the hardware store for some de-icing salt (in the absence of a propane torch) bec...

Re: Daniels Saturday 11/9
If you didn't go to Daniel's today, I'd say you missed out. It was easily ridge soar-able all day with clear, sunny skies and t-shirt weather in the LZ. The prevailing wind acted as a cushion that would keep me at or just above launch, and lift spots would come through every 7 min or so and consiste...
