If you don't mind an interview subject reclining in an electric sailplane, this is a pretty interesting look at the present and future of motors and batteries in gliding technology.

Larry can sum up for us the issues that arise when applying for a conditional use permit. As I recall there are many thorny ones. Therefore I expect the CUP process will only happen when a president and a board or committee decide to take it on because they believe it must be done. It is really gonn...

Hey, every flight is amazing in the Hang Gliding Capital of the World . Seriously, I think the name is grandiose for the fun of it. Actually, the postings here are among the most popular of all. Everybody wants to know what they missed, and it doesn;t matter if it was a bad inversion with everybody ...

Airplane vs. HG conflict Shuts Mt. Sentinal Down
One of the oldest inland hang gliding sites, Mt. Sentinal in Missoula, Montana, has been shut down after several incidents regarding nearby controlled airspace and conflicts between gliders and power pilots. http://www.missoulian.com/articles/2007/06/16/news/local/news01.txt There are many clear par...

Down the road, rest rooms are a significant part of the CUP and Option C arguments. I'm on board with Option C mostly because members have a vision and a passion for it, and that's nice to see. (Glad to hear the design is being opened up, with fewer vertical supports). 1. I say forget incorporating ...

--Hang 2s need instructor sign-off for adventure pass. --Hang 3/4, mentor signoff OK. I'm just not sure a Hang 2 with 15 or 20 hours is ready to be led to an outlanding by a mentor (I wasn't).

The three options prompt members to consider whether they want a clubhouse, rather than just a shelter, in the future. It;s a question everybody has to answer for themselves, and I'm not sure we are confronting it. Shelter: Shade, open, inviting, park-like, informal, with adjacent well-planned BBQ u...
