Robin. First off Congratulations on two great days of flying. Second. Did you ever recover the glider. Third you are lucky to be alive. Imagine if that had not been a calm section you touched down in. My first and only flight from Walt’s was landing at the Independence Airport. I’m pretty certain I’...

Blown launch
What , you didn't take out your wire crew in the process. I'm sorry but that does not count. In the manuel it clearly states that in order to blow or more clearly fuck up your launch technique you have to toss one or more of your wire friends into the abbesse. Sorry for the spelling.

50$$$
Yes I'm OCD to fly. I already made my 50 so I'll be at Kagel that day rain or shine. If I rub the magic penny 26 times it will be blowing in.
