Fun!

Recommend releasing top rope first.

Another great video! You and Jonathan D. have it figured out.

Thanks.

My friend Buck From Chelan, WA says this winter has really been different with way more sunny, warm days with not much snow. How far from there is this site?

Jeff Davies, HG pilot from Durango CO called me yesterday for information concerning flying at the "Guads" in New Mexico but my answering machine cut him off at 30 seconds and I didn't get the last four of his phone number. All I got was (970)-903- and maybe next a 7 (?) Someone please tell him t...

Munch, When flying near water I put two K-Mart air mattresses up inside my double surface to change my glider shaped anchor into a glider shaped life preserver.

Jimmy H. is back!

T&J thanks for the tour. I've never been there.

Jonathan,

I’ve done a lot of boat towing and found the answer for landing on a narrow beach. Approach the beach at a 45 degree angle. Let’s say the beach is to your left. If the glide look like you will hit the trees bare right and pick a spot farther along the beach. If you look short turn more ...

Sounds like you are either pushing out or it's trimmed to slow and it is stalling repeatedly. The scary part is when the air noise dies out while just above the ground. Hold on more airspeed near the ground.

Good landing! Good scratching near the pine tops. Good video! Oh darn-- just a little bit more wind is that too much to ask for. Do you curse a lot? Is that why you're being punished? Damn!!

great landing!!!!!!!!

One of those lower back belly bands help support my lower back that without it I'm only good for 45 minutes to and hour. With it I'm good for two hours when my shoulders give out.

J.D., On the second tow your climb rate, motionless against the cloud in the background/(foreground?) as you tow away from the camera with the wind speed conditions that you had, this tow was done perfectly by the scooter tow man. Take it from me, a 30 plus year tow pilot, these guys know what ...

I see you had the Flintstone brakes on for the landing and put it down under the power lines---wheeewooo---short LZ Good job!

Put some of that tape on the base of your mount that I can see on camera to blend in with the keel. Good music selection too.

More! More!

@Jacmac1>> I once set up wrong, down wind, over a dirt air strip and had to skid/skate in on my feet. There is more of this at: "Hang gliding at Point of the Mountain" (Youtube)

Oh no he lost an instrument !!! Did you notice it when it fell?

Woooo! It's so hot --or is it just me?

Touch down was too abrupt and hard. Dragging the back end of the boat should straighten the boat out with your direction of travel. When the boat tacks to starboard bank hard right with it. The round out needs to be more gradual. It looks like the crosswind drift was to the pilots left. (Crosswin...

When I flew Tekoa years and years back there was no paper work to go up. I was to

Steptoe Butte but never flew it. My wife flew Tekoa too but now she is into golf and nolonger flies. Nice music. Looked like no wind in the LZ!

Glad to see you made it back into the sport. I fly a Sport II 155 sq'.

This year is the first time in years that I haven't made it back to Chelan area flats for towing. (back trouble). I did have a nice flight from the Little Florida Mts. SE of Deming, NM to my home in Las Cruces, NM on May 21, 2...

Really good for a phone!

Any grass fires near Painted Pony?

4:27 & 6:58 captures the feeling!

Okay everyone if you weren't smiling at the end of that video --call your therapist!

Good job!

No--Why you shouldn't have a keel assist. He got the glider out ahead of you. Shoot that guy on the keel.

So who spotted that gold nugget on the trail?

Is there a road to the top of Beacon hill?

Good approach to the beach Jonathan. I see that if you were to come up short you had a bail out green field beneath you.

When ever I plan on flying over water I blow up and stuff to cheap K-Mart air mattresses up inside the double surface and tie them to the nose plate.

(And, Yes I’ve forgotten...

I use a longer heavy line to put some distance between me and the chute.

Davis, Is that a non locking binner on the towline? If so might it clip it self to a front flying wire if you were locked out to one side or the other?
