Re: report about my accident, Woodstock, June 11, 2020

Thank you for your accident report.
2 questions:
What kind of wheel opens? Snap-On ? What diameter?
What model glider has uncoated nose wires?

Re: Hyner 4th of July

As of Saturday July 7th, the Northeast Launch is re-cleared & widened, thanks to the efforts of SteveVan, Doug, Will, Spoons, Alan, Dee, and myself. Had a nice, if brief, soaring flight after the work party.

Re: 501 Saturday Oct. 7th

Hi Hugh,

I didn't recognize your name, so I have to ask your rating(s) ? "501" is a Hang 3 site, 1 mile upwind to the LZ. Double surface only.

Re: HG/PG acidente in Rio

The hang gliders launch off a ramp some 20 feet above and behind than the PG slope launch. This isn't the only time this has happened there.

Re: H2 Friendly "Local" Sites

Sacramento, PA and Jacks Mountain, PA also have large LZ's - but only until crops are planted, which could be any day now. Similarly, the Elmira, NY sites Harris Hill, Indian Cliffs, and Katydid have large winter LZ's. Harris Hill maintains a pretty large LZ during the summer - thanks to the sailpla...

Re: Hyner 40th Anniversary, July 4

Also, Friday's SE forecast shouldn't rule out Hyner, as it is launchable and soarable in any direction, if you count the NE launch across the valley.

Google: "Sacramento, PA" and "Rough and Ready, PA" to find the towns closest to launch on this ~30 mile ridge. Note: this is pretty much a Hang-Glider only site.
