Sylmar Hang Gliding Association

There was no carabiner. Phill Bloom has a similar setup.

Satalite photos are not updated that frequently. Maybe Ken can stop by and check Dukemagen on his way to Sylmar. I suspect it is full. Anyway, I'll be there before 11. It will be nice to have some competition. I won the last two days. Partly because I'm an exceptional pilot on the best equipment. Bu...

It has been a long time. The next scedualed day is Jan 30 but that schedual is not written in stone. Looks like it will tend north west tomorrow. Any intrest in taking the Leage to Ed Levin for the speed gliding contest on the 30th ?

Ah yes, rule number 13. I stand corrected. Rancho de Rome. May it stand as long!

If we named it after Rome, we should post the rules on the wall.
1. Don't throw anything away.

Comming Saturday(12/19) a League day? If it's blowing down, maybe we can check out overtheback LZs on the way to S?

I have attended 4 of Betty's clincs. It is well worth the $40. My intrest level is 3.14159 (a very important number) depending on the date.

We had four participants launching the 1500. It was a light wind launch. Greblo went first taking two steps and hoping into the air, but don't tell his students. Eric brown went next with a good launch. I was third with what Ken termed an "agressive launch". I ran a long way down the hill ...

Today (friday) is LAUSD substitute teacher appreciation day. I take back any teasing I've done of jcflies. She makes the LZ more fun.

My weather forcaster is showing SW at 9kph and the NW holding off until Sunday. Should this be overly optomistic, Ron Wiener gave me GPS cooridnates of 3 LZ's over the back. Speaking of GPS's, did you know that they wouldn't work unless you take Relativity into account? And, it is true at Falcon spe...

I especially like the perspective on you landing Oscar. After the S-turn approach, which made me dizzy, there was that great voom in on the ground.

I'm interested. Will there be...power lines?

Yes this is Falcon League Saturday. Yes there will be paparazzi on launch from the European tabloids (max bring your camera). Potential tasks include: a comp like task, top landing someplace, or exploring LZ's over the back if it's blowing down.

I will be there. Maybe we should take some donuts for the Cop blocking the road to Lukens launch.

Falcon League sat 10/10. Last week we had big adventure going over the back. It was limited to Ken and I because the others were lazying it up at the beach. Tomorrow the weather looks a little below par. That would be good if we were golfers. I still have it on my agenda to launch low and land high....

I'm wet with anticipation. Ron Wiener gave me some over-the-back waypoints for LZ's. I'll try to hunt them down while I'm charging my GPS.

The word is that Ewrin is home.

Yes there is a wating list of about 3 people. There is also 3 late-payers I would like to get rid of.

Most merbers (80%) pay annually. This applies to each box even though the rental amount is different. Most of the rest pay quaterly. A couple don't pay at all. I don't see any insentive to motivate a member to front the cost of a tube. Unless, for example, a discount is given on the anual charge. Th...

The amount if interest is growing. We could possibly use my truck. There are some limitations. The racks only have room for 3 gliders and have an 8ft base. So shorter gliders are supported better.
