Hands Free?

Do the "Hands Free" laws apply to hang gliding? If not, I want one so I can talk on the phone and text while flying! Oh Hell - I'll just talk and text no matter what the law says - it won't affect my flying.

Picture is NOT worth 10,000 words

It is unfortunate that your picture does not show all the people that helped that day - or for that matter all the people that worked on this project for the last couple of weeks.

Two Thoughts, well maybe three

GENERALLY, the most active club members become Board members because they care about the club therefore they do a disproportional amount of the work.

Does anyone wonder why people don't want to be on the Board?

Why is this post in the "Safety and Incidents in flight" section?

Who would have known!

Who would have known it would rain in March. Rome - since you obviously have "The Crystal Ball" how about telling me the winning numbers for the next Power Ball. When (not if) I win I will donate 10% to SHGA as soon as the 501c3 is approved. :D

Mark Knight - R.I.P.

Some of you may know Mark Knight as one the dragonfly tug pilots out of Arizona - he also worked the Santa Cruz Flats comp. Apparently he had a fatal accident late Sunday. No further details are available at this time.

Joe Greblo

I understood it was Joe Greblo. Launched the 1500. The collapsing wings were a quick release set-up, and the sparks were computer animation.

quorum

Is it possible for people such as Dr. Jeff to sign/submit a form that is used SOLEY to establish a quorum? This is commonly used by HOA. If this is allowed we need to get as many people as possible to sign/submit the form even is they plan on attending the meeting/party.

I'll call you next week and we can set up a time/day that works for everyone. We need some muscle - both of us are pretty much useless at this time.

Proposal to Convert to 501c3

I have read the letter dated 10/16/13 in the Member's section and have 4 points to make/add. 1. Contributions to the club INCLUDE your annual membership fee. Crestline has determined that $95 of the $100 annual membership fee is tax deductible. 2. The tax deduction is also available on your STATE ta...

Yes

I have an Pick Up Truck that could be used - BUT, I have several questions. 1. Has the Board approved this? 2. How old is this unit? If it is old then it is cheaper in the long run to buy a new one because the electric usage will be significantly less. 3. What is the purpose of this? I have been dis...

FOUND - Wills Wing 65" Downtube

Found leaning against the East Storage Box (next to the Tractor). It fits a T2C - don't ask how I know. I moved it to the "lost & found" box. If no one claims it - I have first "dibs".

It's the GLIDER!

I saw Ken Howells yesterday. He mentioned he saw Ken Andrews name on the results list after just taking delivery of the T2C. I mentioned that Ken was doing better than past years - on a LiteSpeed S. Ken H said "It has to be the Glider"!

If you can't make it to Casa Grande in the next 4 days to get your Tow Rating - Mark Knight lives in the Phoenix area and works out of the Phoenix Regional Airport (about 5 miles from Casa Grande).

WOW - what a mis-step!

"Open Class ... RLF and XC sign off required.

Sport Class ... RLF and XC sign off required.

Entry fee is $10 per pilot."

I suspect this will be "discussed at Saturday's Board Meeting.

Garlock 8/31/13

Joe Greblo was taking about 8 H2s & H3s to Garlock so a few others joined in. I don't even begin to know all the names but they included Cyndia, Brandon, Rob & ???????. The "others" included Frederick (with his Mesquito), Ken, Richard, Kris, Max, and myself. The "others" ...
