So, are you a defensor of thermal use of mosquito? Even at turbulent air in the summer?

[TheSkyDog1]

@jgilp Absolutely!! The group that I fly with (6guys) usually only flies when there is good thermal activity. We will usually go to a field. Power up to our first thermal and then shut off the motor harness and thermal for a few hours. We don't go cross country all of the time but do on occasion.

That must feel pretty exhilarating and free to be able to fly like that!!

How do ya find your way back to the field while on the hang glider though? O_o

[TheSkyDog1]

@chaosvoider I can see for a long way up there. :-) Some times I go a far as I can (160 miles) and some times I just float around at cloud base and land where I took off from.

Wes,

I've been flying an Exxtacy for 10 years with a Mosquito /WASP conversion. I had shoulder surgery last Nov and have been flying the Freedom for nearly a year as the shoulder gets back to normal. The Freedom is great, light, easy to launch in no wind, thermals great,and I had a 35 mile xc with it this summer.

[Frontierblues]

[chaosvoider]
