Oh my God, I see this stuff on all the yahoo PPG groups!Now it's on Youtube.Why can't we all fly along!LOL

Before you make another RUDE comment, I think you should know that I was at the Ohio Fly-In this past year and got to watch you make many failed attempts to launch. Do you want me to post those video's???

WOW! Your not very nice! Trees are not a "horizon"! What is the Slope of this runway? Do you think that would have any thing to do with it? And how about the wind? Please, Please, Please tell me your not a flight instructor!!!

I don't need to "know" the angle of the camera - it can be seen in relation to the horizon.

Yes the wing was oscillating slightly, but how would you know if "I almost stalled it"? You don't know the current winds nor the angle of the camera!...

Dang... hope you are still flying...first you launch with an oscillating wing and then you almost stall it...
About the wind during your launch: If any at all it was very slight because you did a forward launch. That slight wind - if any - got little to do with how you have been controlling your wing in flight during climb because YOU should be the one having control of your wing and not your environment...
No hard feelings here, just was trying to help.
Good luck and fly safe!

Just for you my friend here's the definition of "horizon" - out of a dictionary:
"The line or circle that forms the apparent boundary between earth and sky."

Thank You for the correct definition, but trees 200 yards away is still not a horizon! Are you saying that the Trees are the "apparent boundary between earth and sky"? Please reread this definition that you posted!
