A favor
It looks like I can't make it out to the Spring Air Festival tomorrow and I'm selling a glider with all proceeds going to the club. JD may come out there to see it for someone, but if he can't (or doesn't want it), could someone assist with the setup and breakdown and getting it into the auction. As...

Re: Why so quiet?
Boy, has this forum gotten quiet. Here we had a big day Thursday and not a peep on here. You shouldn't have to fly a hundred miles to post something in here. I'm just wondering, like other work-bound folk, how it went yesterday. Here's what I posted: http://www.shga.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t...

I sheet you not. I'll post my track log tonight and you can make a fancy video or something. When I landed the summary showed 9.7k but it showed just over 10 when I was up there and I didn't have hypoxia either. (I did a mini fist pump to celebrate). It could be the two different ways the 6015 measu...

Why is SW so much worse than SE? Look at the map to see which air-mass will bring SW versus SE winds. Here is 2 wiki articles, which maybe helpful to understand why sea breeze develops and how it affect our soaring: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_breeze http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_(met...

H3 Meteorologist here
So it looks like we have an incredible heatwave coming up followed by a switch to S winds on Friday. I know this is hard to predict accurately since it's still far out, but given the intensity of the upcoming Santa Ana event, are we headed for an epic switch day on Friday? Do strong Santa Ana events...

Ultrasport 147 for Sale
Wills Wing Ultrasport 147. Double Surface Glider with VG and tail (can be flown without it). Come with an optional tail that minimizes PIO so ideal if you're ready for the transition to a DS. I purchased this glider used so I don't know how many hours it has on it. There is some cosmetic delaminatio...

Hi Niall: You can usually ferret out a scammer just by asking a couple of direct hang gliding related questions. Very few non-pilots are familiar with the vernacular. You could also ask a nonsense question and see how the seller responds. i.e. What's the condition of the leading edge torsion bar? I...

I was thinking about where to stage, and my impression is that over the wash, just east of the overshoot ramp would be a good area, or perhaps a bit more north, so stage over the wash east of the peanut gallery. Too far north and if you come in too low and have to turn early you're on the steeper po...

Landing with a northerly approach
Yesterday's landing with northerly winds was a nice challenge. Having barely flown this year it was not something I was looking forward to, but having pulled it off it felt great 8) At least couple of pilots coming in on final hit big sink before the overshoot ramp and couldn't make it over it, effe...

Re: H.G. Harnesses
Consider my thoughts on hang-gliding harnesses: The most common complaint I hear is "I can't get upright on landing" some times I hear about comfort but not much. I flew a C.G. 1000 for 25 years until it wore out. During that time I got to test fly just about every harness coming on the m...

Well you're "hot" in the mind of your students. Not sure if that makes you a legend but it must count for something.OP wrote:I'm a legend in my own mind, so add me to the list.
