Re: Learning from a HG accident

I have one of these inside the glovebox of my harness with all my emergency contact information.
They are $2 at True Value hardware.

Sorry...No money :D

Re: Learning from a HG accident

I tried talking to you on 146.500

Zirk's Mountaineer site is good for new H2s so long as you're not susceptible to cow-suck. :D

Re: Woodstock Blown Launch 3/4

Ouch! :shock:
Glad you are OK.
Are you going to fix your glider or order a new one?
How long do you think you will be grounded?
At least it didn't happen in the middle of flying season.

Re: Sunday (Feb 26th, 2017) @ WS

The "new LZ" is even more challenging not only due its distance but also its approach
Bridge field was uncomfortably far for me.
Launch looks nice but WS is out for me.

Looks like Saturday wind speed is picking up.
Sunday speed is dropping off a bit.

Still early.
