I wouldn't let your hang strap get all in a twist over legalities, whatever was underneath the cube before hang gliderers showed up would probably be suffering a similar demise. "Mountains crumble to the sea". Besides, it was constructed under the design specifications of Washington county...

SILENT WINGS WARD?

This procedure evolved while practicing in high winds on flat ground. I would stand ahead of the cross bar and control the glider w/ the nose wires and wait for a lull. I needed unobstructed vision to insure quick and proper connection, or disconnection if necessary (the gate facing rearward makes r...

If you've gotten to this point in the thread apparently you'll read anything, consider this; After sending my kite down the hill @ Oregon ridge alone I figured I needed a string around my nuts to remind me not to do it again. My kids are happy I came up with a better plan. As part of my pre-flight I...

Kev,
Just got back from Cumberland this evening, been going up frequently lately. Let
me know what you need, I'll probably be going back next week.

No....dude... it's totally doable, all we need is like, a speed-link

Who's in?

I know that guy.
We need to coax this bespeckeled closet flyer out to the hill.

WOW, I'm an above average pilot !

I finally got a new wing and I'll re-read the books that made no sense to me the first time. I digest spoon-fed info better though, thanks Brian!
How do I find and interpret current and predicted conditions?

Can we get some of you guys in-the-know to elaborate & simplify some of this stuff for us. There are some chickens in the young hang 3 coop that are getting a bit nervous over the current meteorlogical debate. You guys are being followed by at least one dumb bird. I'm embarrassed to be an H3 for...

if N. 5-10 is flyable in a Falcon I'll give it a .......try

Glen and I are lookin' @ HR this afternoon

I like to use most of the speed my Falcon has and staying prone til ground effect @ 4-5 feet. I also like manly wheels, although in some situations they act like brakes. By the way, I weaklinked your mamma last night.

Because I don't waste a lot of time soaring all over creation like you guys,
I get more practice @ launch & arrest. That's the ticket.

Ready to go. Anyone want to share a ride?

What situations are the current weak links designed to resolve
Is it possible to apply an automatic release to HG

Bruce, yeah - I'm ready to kill to fly! Is WS doable today, it's a long drive
if turns out not to be.

Tomorrow's lookin better for a trip to the training hill in Smithsburg and maybe a jump off High Rock if we can coerce another pilot or two. I live
in Rockville, MD. Give me a call if you can switch days!

Especially since I hope to start PG this spring I will commit to help on the
launch site. I love cuttin' trees anywho.
2 cents in, leave the grate.

Last to launch & first to land, suffering from what Mike has coined as a P I L. Danny, observing my flying needs real help, took pity and kicked me off again @ about 3:30 into the Forest Gump of brain dead soaring. As the light began to fade and a few drops fell I left the ridge @ 2550 & got...

Glen & I are thinking H.R. this afternoon if anyone is still interested

Better late than never? 73 tandems to solo, 5 years to XC, 3 days to post, sorry. Except for this post it was all worth the wait! The day could not have been any more perfect. (maybe landing in a hOOters parking lot w/ hot food waiting) D.B.'s save was encouraging so I launched a few minutes after, ...
