One of the guys in one of the group shots looks like Steve Moyes.

Obviously a one-percenter going for more than he can possibly use or enjoy. 3. Physics. It's doubtful that his wing area can produce enough lift to get that ve...

Next Question
Should he have thrown his chute? I think, yes. With the right wire broken, there was nothing he could do to come out of the left turn. As Jonathan observed, any control movement would just steepen the bank to the left. Letting go of the control bar might allow the glider to fly at trim long enough t...

Owens this weekend?
I have two spots in my truck for a trip to the Owens, leaving the LZ about 7 pm Friday, August 5, returning Sunday pm.
You may have to camp. The Dow Villa is full, but I haven't checked anywhere else.

Sorry, folks. There has to be more to hook this crime to any particular person or group of persons. Case ...

I have a Flytec 4020. No GPS, but it records your last 10 flights' duration and max altitude.
I have all the manuals, etc.

Tiedown strap found
At the Springair festival ( that's right, five months ago) I found a really nice tie-down strap that I think you'd want back. Send me an email describing it. WingNutz314@sbcglobal.net.
