Sylmar Hang Gliding Association

You might want to go to hackaday.com and go to the Kinect section of the site and look through the hacks to get some inspiration on how to do this. One that comes to mind is the A Portable, WiFi Enabled Kinect.

Vimeo says I can't view the video because it's private.

Another good anti-virus is NOD32 by Eset. I highly recommend it.

Check Ham Radio Outlet in Burbank to see if they have any more (VX 150). They're great radios.

Hey, I'm not even an H2 yet. I think a higher standard means better safety and better pilots. I'm in no hurry.

Kind of reminds me of a sun dog, but surrounded by clouds. Or something similar to it.

I noticed that in the first video during your landing you had your hands in the grapevine position again. Then you switched just as you were about to flare and set down. I remember Joe telling me that switching body or hand positions in the middle of a landing was one of the greater causes of accide...

Rome's post concerned me when he mentioned Dockweiler closing. I emailed Joe and asked if it was. He said it wasn't.

I was thinking more on the lines of Mothra.

But opening up another site would slightly diminish Sylmar's uniqueness in this area. I don't think opening up this site for landing out would diminish Sylmar's uniqueness any more than the existing landout sites have. It's not like another club would be founded at that site. I'm thinking that if a...

Doug, This is wrong in so many ways. If that was a joke, say it now please before I start screaming "wtf are you thinking?!". This would seriously hurt our sport. We're tying to get more people in to the sport. Not trying to scare them away. Not to mention that it would require people to h...

Awesome! Think they'll ship it to us? Looks kinda bombed out though ...

Once the design changes are done for the gazebo. Maybe a materials manifest in order to build it could be put up on the forum so members could bring supplies and materials to be donated to the cause?

I saw this on the Oz Report. To be honest this upset me a bit. The pilot could have been seriously hurt if this went in a bad way. I'm not really sure what to think. Good for him on a successful ditch? Or bad for him for taking off and not having a bailout LZ in the plan just in case? Was the launch...

I'd love to send a letter to my Assemblymember about this situation. However if I'm going to cite that every dollar spent makes $2.35. I need to point to them where I got that information so I can say that it's their people who came up with those numbers.

So where is that information from?

Hey don't put down Olive View man. They saved my life and were very nice to me. I was laid out with a bad appendix, no insurance, no job and they took care of me. Despite being put in the same room with some crazy nut in the next bed over. I just can't help feeling that I left a little piece of me b...

This is very sad indeed. As a student I've been warned by my instructors and more experienced peers not to modify my equipment. I've also been told and see this as the most important thing that anyone as told me:

If you take care of your equipment. Your equipment will take care of you.

Don't you wish that you could 'tuck-n-roll' the way he does when you have a rough landing with your Falcon!!! :wink: Allen check out david belle! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iJLMrW4j4M You have to be in massively good shape to do what he does. However, that is going to take a serious toll on hi...

Who is the pilot? You?

Can I get a copy of that in the best quality you can give me? I'd like to upload it to www.broadcaster.com. They have better quality. And I'm not just saying that because I work there.

Oh come on now. Beer cans welded together do not count.
