Sylmar Hang Gliding Association

I like the RC idea!

If it has been a while since you checked Big-T wash and the Beehives - - - I walked the LZ's with my GoPro on Friday (excuse the "wobble"). Hope you find it useful. Of course, it never hurts to check it out yourself - you get more of that 3-D effect. Big-T: http://vimeo.com/22827077 Beehiv...

I am interested - always wanted to fly SB

Hello Jonathan, Thanks for your comments and observations. Joe Greblo said exactly the same thing about my last 'adventure' between "Locals" and "Towers". That one was a lot worse. I am much more vigilant flying over that area now. I guess I have to add "Trash" to my li...

Has anybody else experienced this over Kagel or is it just me?

I totally agree - a fantastic weekend with lots of fun and soaring.
Many thanks to BJ, Kat S., Cyndia and Joe G. for organizing this event.
Thanks to Kathy Y. for driving for us.
Here is a video of the highlights...

Sorry to hear about your Rock & Toe encounter - Ouch! Can we call you "Big Toe" now? I had a similar experience years ago. I recommend steel-toe shoes. Hope you recover soon. I am temporarily grounded myself (last three weeks) due to a strained back (not HG related) - I know the feeling.

Very funny.

I totally agree - this was a great fly-In. Thank you Andy & Emily for an amazing weekend. I'll be back!

I encountered a really strong thermal today.
This is what it looked like...

I am more worried about water than heat...
I found my glider soaking wet one day.
When the storage doors are left open and the sprinklers are on, the gliders get wet (middle section and below).
