Yes, Submarinesquid, I am still alive and well. But I do have a passion burried deep inside that wants to get back at it, and create a more rigid wing (valved canopy) and an active airbag system, like a stuntman's airbag. Not sure why the commercial manufacturers haven't come up with one...maybe it;s like the Tucker car - "Seatbelts...why that would imply that our car is unsafe!!. Can't have that!" Too many friends have messed themselves up with lowlevel collapses (Hangies all nod their heads)
Hi Don What a great job on the videos. Family unity and history right here in on spot. Your video gives me and our 3 small children something to look forward to.Thanks Scotty
My mom sewed one too :) no joke she really did.. in 1990.

That was an awesome story. I was so hoping that it would not end badly and was happy when it didn't. Thank you so much for the story!

Excellent! Loved the vid. I like homemade things: pies, cakes, paragliders, paramotors, take a look at either madcow or Cowham.
