been frickin cold as sheesh here--but flying nonetheless. As Pete Lehmann used to say, there are almost always thermals out there. : )

Nice vid but what are you flying? The title says Litespeed RS but the speed bar and corner brackets look like Wills Wing hardware (and the speed bar looks to have the "Wills Wing" logo.)

My Wills speedbar is wrapped with bicycle handle tape. It really helps with not wicking heat from my hand onto the aluminum; nice for those cold days.

Hi, Marc!

Danny--the litespeed RS is just my youtube ID (though I do actually fly one). You're right, I was flying my fabulously fun Falcon which is the epitomy of fun hang gliding. : ) Good tip, thanks.

Yes, the difference was amazing. Rub it on with a lens cleaning cloth, let it dry, and then either buff off the residue or run the glasses under water.
