International Otto What is an Otto rating ? Self-Soar Association adopted a membership system where members were called Otto members. This all was to honor and share the spirit of Otto Lilienthal, considered by many as the father of hang gliding. An Otto rating wraps a hang glider pilot who honors b...

I think Larry has it! The prize of honor probably will be yours! Anyone contest his answer? Today Joe Greblo told me some history that the parcel may not have been Los Angeles before the SHGA accepted the land parcel, but that Los Angeles grew in a land annexation process during the development of a...

Is Sylmar Flight Park in or out of Los Angeles?

Jim, Bob and I are two known positively contributing seniors. Both have been given thanks. Sorry you missed it. OK. Too far, Jim: "or any other property that may be construed as a usual LZ for SHGA" That is reaching too far. SHGA has its 4.33 acres, no more. It had once no LZ. In time, SHG...

Scenario : SHGA does not invite JoePilot to land on the private property SHGA 4.33 acres. And SHGA charges JoePilot nothing for a recreational-use landing on the said 4.33 acres. Indeed, SHGA notifies that such use by JoePilot is not permitted by the choice of the owner SHGA. Then JoePilot should n...

The reason that we are not inviting non-USHPA flyers to drop in on SHGA property comes down to one thing -liability insurance. Although it is not a common occurrence, houses have been struck by hang gliders in the past and there is always the potential to injure a spectator. Our club is at risk of ...

There are many seniors who would like to join the park and club and play a substantial role in volunteer work for the club. But a deep redtape item challenges: the having to join a third party private corporation to land a hang glider on the club's 4.33 acres. ' Is the club searching for ways to hav...

A huge foundational assumption by the middle person does not hold true; he assumed that hang gliding would not be possible without the insurance.

Indeed hang gliding exists when no third-party insurance is present.

So, with such a fallacious assumption, the castle built must be questioned.

As confirmed several times directly to Greg and here again: "Greg, you have been a flight father to many." He has thus a large family of flight children. http://www.energykitesystems.net/GregDeWolf/GregFlightFatheringMany002.JPG Thank you, Greg, for your decades of sharing yourself through...
