ive launch in stronger winds with ONE nose man and if the wind is cross i want ONE man on THAT side wing wire. when i say CLEAR they leave without disrupting my wing and i fly away.
the more people the greater the chance of someone screwin up at the pilots expence.
and stay away from that damn keel. you guys look like rookies
@dhillmjex1 - the 16 mph seen on the wind mtr was a lull- the gust mx was in the high 20's; it the variation, not the spd, that is challenging ( much more so on a single surface glider- less so on a blade). The 2 pilots on the keel represented more than 50 years of flying experience- I was happy to have them. Having self launched the site into 18 mph+ elevator ride, the crew choice was judicious- but I can see how it might seem otherwise to the unfamiliar. Fly Lookout and see for yourself.
Looks like YouTube destroyed my video. ????????
