Sylmar Hang Gliding Association

I don't know who is point on this one. Larry is going to be out of town, so the best thing to do would be post for a head count. And we still don't know what if any tools may be needed.

Kathy and I will be in the LZ at 7:30 to load crew and gliders. On the road to ranger station by 8:00.

sounds great! If Greblo doesn't go is there any other pilots that are familiar with the site for a briefing?

Cool Concept, However its interesting that the video doesn' t show the pitch change while activating the air brake. And I would wonder if there is added bar pressure to overcome or does it hinge in flight to lighten bar pressure?

With a lot of what if instruction.

Yeah KATHYS ROCK! For all reasons you listed and more.

Thanks for asking. I consider myself lucky limping away with a bruised calf, and wire hickies on my arm. The glider didn’t fair as well, I still haven’t opened the bag to look at since Max put It away for me (I was quite rattled) I’m told It has a broken leading edge, cross bar and both down t...

After making 3 successful launches and top landings (within approximately an hour and a half) went back to launch after getting a quick drink (water) this was about 12:00-1:00 conditions had gotten stronger about 20 MPH relatively smooth with an occasional thermal coming through. walked glider down ...

Telegrams no. Smoke signals yes
