Re: HG "Crash" at HR Yesterday?
That would be me. I had a bad launch and went through the trees to the right of launch. I did not go to hospital but I did bang myself up pretty good. Banged up one knee and an elbow is pretty sore. Criagin showed up after and retrieved my instrument and most of the battens. I was too sore to help him so I had to leave the glider there. It may be several days before I can climb down and retrieve the glider.

Hi Kelvin,
Hope you heal quickly and that your glider is fixable. Steve Wendt can do amazing things with broken gliders.
Wanna do Cotapaxi and Chimborazo in 2017?

Ya, glad it wasn't worse. When you are ready, an analysis of what happened would be interesting. - Hugh
