Merry Condensation All My Friends!
https://youtu.be/8zVI26Vm_uY I originally began a secret anthology of my personal FAR 103.23 breaches in concert with Orian Price less than a year before he tragically died. I have since refined the edit and sound track dozens of times trying to get it just right and remove the non-aesthetic element...

Re: Cloud Suck Thursday - 2019.11.21
Watch out in the Clouds.... Please don't even be in the clouds locally given the amount of commercial and other powered air traffic. On another note, I see you signed your marvelous watercolor "WINGNUTZ". I am impressed. If you have an online gallery I would enjoy seeing more. Cheers, Jon...

Cloud Suck Thursday - 2019.11.21
Hour-long flight yesterday to 500' below cloud base just over 4900'MSL. The lighting and scenery were very pleasing but the cold and turbulence weren't nearly as enjoyable. I kept the edit short and to the point. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/orvDVALVcqY http://photos.imageevent.com/aero92/misc/vlcsnap-20...

Re: Sunday, 17
Lots of good flights. Kendall flew to Wilson and back. I think Chippy and Jim flew to East Lukens and back.
Highest was ~10,900'. I got to 9,200' and landed safely at Oro Vista and Big T Rd. on my old Sport 2 155.

Glenn Johnny Peter Bengtsson, Carlsbad (43) Raul Gonzalez Valerio, Laguna Hills (61) ... but not their USHPA ratings ...

Woody Valley Tenax Rope Slider Failure!
I know there are a number of Tenax harnesses in the club that use the tensioned rope slider instead of a steel rod for the suspension.
Here is an ass-puckering reminder to follow the inspection and maintenance procedures in the Tenax owners manuals.

More like they one-undered your landing. Didn't mean to torpedo the topic. Is there a new sign-off co-branded w/ PADI?mrobin604 wrote:....This means that someone else has one-upped my landing.
Doug found me the actual video of your landing.

FYI - Dave Turner from http://sierraparagliding.com found Ken's glider and has the precise location recorded. I put Dave and Ken in touch with each other (hopefully) and the glider can soon be high and dry rather than submerged and damp.

Landing today at Sylmar in a strong crosswind and sliding somewhat sideways across the grass. When I get a section of Moyes zoom downtube to use as a mold I will make an adapter for the Moyes carbon speedbar.

The latest iteration is the best but only fits onto the Wills Wing aluminum speedbar wheel bracket.

Re: Where to fill up your 02 bottle
There are 4 kinds of oxygen we can use for hang gliding and not just 2. Read all about it: http://www.c-f-c.com/supportdocs/abo1.htmFat Fred wrote:....I was under the impression that there is special aviators oxygen?

Landing Skid Test
Greg seemed so despondent over the dearth of videos so I've uploaded this test I ran yesterday of landable skids.

For those that don't know, I was the pilot involved. I plan to write a little about the series of bad decisions that led to the event once I've reflected on it a little further. Glad you survived unscathed Terry. Looking forward to your detailed report. Do you have a GPS tracklog? If so, I can conv...
